Ah FPTP. That’s definitely a bad vote counting system. Hopefully the UK will replace that someday. If the left did unite and stand behind a party that tries to get this through, it’s possible.
Agreed. But FPTP is also needed by the right and centrists.
It will always evolve into a 2 party system. Where 3rd party or independents. Devide similar views.
But a theory I have expressed before. Our voting system has broken the UKs understanding of political compromise.
The 2 main parties are so used to having full power without 50+% of vote. Voters do net seems to expect parties with similar but different views to compromise at all. Also getting offended when they do. 2010 was an example.
I voted green. As I disagree with them on less then the others.
But labour is no longer left wing. And in no way deserves left wing support. Certainly not the support of the 16m disabled in the UK.
But yes under FPTP the failure of the left wing to unite around any one party is the reason we have no representation.
But not the reason labour has treated us like a default vote without earning our vote.

Or revolution. Who knows.
