George MonbiotThe only way Reform UK could win a general election is through our first-past-the-post system.
If we had proportional representation, the threat would evaporate.
We don't have PR because Starmer has blocked it.
This allows him to say: vote Labour or you get Farage.
Because it's all he has left.
It seems so obvious that I struggle to understand how people fail to see it. Starmer tells us that *WE* have to stop Reform by voting Labour, whereas *HE* could do it by introducing PR. But then we'd lose any remaining incentive to vote for his party.
Aaron In Minnesota@georgemonbiot.bsky.social Very similar strategy employed by Democrats in US. They play like they have no power to fix our broken system, and tell voters it is on them. Then they blame voters when things go sour.
