The ratio for those is favour of reversing Brexit is very close to two to one now.

    All well and good but with a FPTP system you cannot vote for what you want and expect to get it. If we had PR then that would be a different story.

        As far as I am concerned, the next GE will be the last time I vote Labour unless they announce PR as part of their manifesto. I can understand Starmer dodging on this next innings, but failing adding it to the next GE after would just mean we are on a circle jerk. I still remember Blair said he would move to PR when he was in office.

        leave it to the UK to create a system somehow less functional than the electoral college here in the US. Huzzah to the special relationship.

          FPTP is exactly as dumb as the US election system, because it’s the same thing the US has.

        In my area Labour won by 2000 votes at 18500. Tories came next and LD were third at just over 2500. How can I vote tactically against Labour?
