I suppose it’s possible they won’t make a pig’s ear of it and that the two-ish party rigidity of our system could be broken
You mean it’s supposedly possible that the media won’t start an even worse smear campaign in continued and unrelenting defence of said system… I wouldn’t hold your breath…

It will only be broken when voters work together to ensure it.
The left as a whole are too willing to divide the vote. So fptp harms us more than the right, as empathy and emotion is a lower effect on their voting intentions. (I am in no way saying PR would end the right, just increase the power of the left to match actual vote share. )
So the only possible way w can change FPTP if for the left to agree voting reform is the primary importance. Everything else must take a back seat to this. And even then it would take a few parliaments before the effect was powerful enough.

All it means is that the left’s vote gets split and conservatives get back into power
Yeah, we need electoral reform first 🙁
If only Labour hadn’t rallied against it.
That’s what they say on American subs too lol
Because it is also true there. Any nation with fptp voting will push towards a 2 party system.
