Second Reform candidate quits and backs Tories over 'racism and misogyny'

The upside to #Reform, however much I dislike their worldview, is two-fold:
- They're splitting the right-leaning votes into two. This enables a #LibDem flip in many places and a #Labour flip in others.
- But much more interesting, you might finally be able to find a majority for #VoteReform; FTPT now doesn't suit Reform, nor LibDem, nor #Conservatives.

The key question is whether Labour has the courage to do it when "they're up".

A #ProportionalRepresentation reform would change everything.

My guess is it’s complaining + a political system which allows the complaints to be actioned in a fair & timely manner.

That would explain why so many things are still the way they are in Britain 😅

So the real trick is, how to use the current governance system and still get progress, be it local, regional or national.
