Spot on. I'm one of those becoming increasingly disaffected by Starmer and his policies which are so removed from his earlier "promises" before becoming leader.
Someone should write an piece on why a Labour minority government would be the most likely to make the necessary democratic reforms. The Scottish Parliament uses a d'hondt electoral system designed to avoid an outright majority by one party. It has the benefits of blending constituency based msps and PR list msps. If you want to hold politicians and their respective parties to account FPP must end.
Senior Lib Dems have told me before that PR would almost certainly be their price for supporting Labour in a hung parliament. Very possible that's where we end up.

I hope so.
Labour gaining an outright majority would be an absolute disaster as they would only tinker around the edges of Tory policies at best.
They absolutely need to be reigned in via a coalition for any chance of real change...
And this is why Labour will renege on PR .. It wants outright power .. it is not concerned for democracy.
