    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.

    Or revolution. Who knows.

      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.
