    The only reason Labour won this election is right wing infighting.

    If Reform UK did not exist, the Conservatives would take those votes and have 37% of the vote to Labour’s 34%.

      Don’t suppose that we can shill for ranked choice voting in the UK by saying that FPTP took “the country’s favorite ideology” out of power?

        The issue is that the fascists are currently popular in this space through Reform. Any pushing against the current fptp system gives them votes because there’s no moderate alternative offering it.

        If we didn’t have FPTP, the Conservatives wouldn’t have been in power in the first place. They didn’t have a majority of the votes in any of the last 4 elections.
