      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.
