How we can smash Britain’s two-party system for good at the next election | George Monbiot
www.theguardian.com
Labour is beyond repair. Time for a co-ordinated strategy to support progressive parties committed to electoral reform, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

George Monbiot suggests that Labour shouldn’t be supported because they’re now pushing right-wing policies, in his view.

So he thinks people should tactically support progressive parties who support electoral reform (Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru), which may hopefully then lead to electoral reform, so that we end up with proportional representation. Then Brits will have more choices than effectively just two parties for future elections.

Thoughts?

    Labour have a good few years to get themselves together before an election.

    I agree they are unlikely to do what the country needs, and membership wants, with voting reform. Maybe if they are sure they will lose and Reform would win. Doubt it even then though, because “we might still win”.

    If everyone can agree on another left party fine, but it will be split over Green, SNP, LibDems, Plaid and Labour. That’s how we, a left leaning country, get endless right wing governments and their madness.
