Sure, but due to us having the same problems with First Past The Post that the Americans do, we still end up voting against a party rather than for the one we want.
If I’d voted Green in the last election, it wouldn’t have been a vote for Labour, which (at the time) were the only party that had a chance of getting rid of the “safe” Tory in my constituency.
Now that Labour have destroyed any reputation of being “for the people” that they may have had in order to try and sway the Nazis that will vote Reform, they (hopefully) won’t be getting any votes from the left next time.
Hopefully the Greens and the new Corbyn/Sultana party will be sensible in where they field candidates so as not to split that voter base.
We’re too far out for me to guess if a Tory/Reform coalition might be possible next time, but it’s a terrifying thought…
Unfortunately it’s not just the multiple parties. But left wing voters unwillingness to compromise,
Honestly for right wing voters the only thing that matters is keeping the left out.
But the left vote has always split over the smallest of idealism.
Unfortunately we will never beat FPTP without coming together to do just that.
Even though PR etc will not abolish the right wing. It will only increase the democratic nature of the vote. But that in itself is the priority. ATM less then 30% of voters often rule the UK.
