- robin_reala 1y agoEvery time Labour gets into power, FPTP reformation is mysteriously never considered.

As long as Reform UK splits the Tory vote FPTP will continue to be in Labour's interests. In fact, at the moment moving away from FPTP would mostly benefit Reform UK and the Lib Dems, possibly the Tories, too as this point.
