How we can smash Britain’s two-party system for good at the next election | George Monbiot
www.theguardian.com
Labour is beyond repair. Time for a co-ordinated strategy to support progressive parties committed to electoral reform, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

George Monbiot suggests that Labour shouldn’t be supported because they’re now pushing right-wing policies, in his view.

So he thinks people should tactically support progressive parties who support electoral reform (Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru), which may hopefully then lead to electoral reform, so that we end up with proportional representation. Then Brits will have more choices than effectively just two parties for future elections.

Thoughts?

    Vote tactically to keep Reform out of any seat it is running in.

    Avoid the Lib Dems, they’ll form a coalition with the Tories if there’s something in it for them.

    Vote Green where it won’t lead to the Tories winning.

    Quit hoping that electoral reform will save you. PR systems give disproportionate power to unprincipled centrist parties like the LibDems and the current Labour Party. Instead, learn how to use tactical voting and convince all your friends and neighbours.
