Except that’s likely not true. It would be the death of the Tories, who’d be gone from the political landscape for decades, no doubt.
A social democratIc centre left coalition is exactly what’s needed and one that should be actively pursued by all parties that aren’t the Tories.
The big unknown in PR terms is how many more people would vote, as their vote would actually mean something, likely making things even worse for the Tories. What Labour should be focussing on is delivering for the country and that, for me at least, is keeping these shysters out of office for as long as possible!
Prior to the 2019 election, which was an anomaly for all the known reasons, 14 million voters were in seats that hadn’t changed hands since world war 2, while 11 Labour and 54 Conservative seats haven’t changed party hands in over a century. Clearly this is nonsensical and leads to a huge democratic deficit.
It would be the death of them both, which is why neither of them will back it.
I agree fully with the need for it, I just don’t see it happening for a while yet still.
