We're at the point where proper PR (STV, not d'Hondt party lists) is such a no-brainer that the only people still in favour of FPTP must be either so stupid they're unfit for public office or in the pay of Putin, MAGA & Farage, wanting a massive Nazi majority on 25% of the vote in UKs final GE.

"We see this selfish trait being played out with all the defections to Reform UK. This jumping of ship is certainly not motivated in the interests of their constituents, who realistically have no say in the matter. It’s all about 'me' in politics."
