    Abolish FPTP, and I might consider voting for you. That’s it. That’s the only power you wield right now

      He’d rather keep FPTP and see Reform be in charge indefinitely than bring in PR and have the possibility of a left wing party as part of a coalition in the future, no matter how small a part of that coalition they are and even if it wasn’t Labour having to work with them

      I think it would be good if the UK had proportional representation - it’s a shame it’s unlikely to happen any time soon. Labour only got 34% of the vote last year, but this gave them 63% of the seats, and that might be one reason why the public is so unhappy at the moment.

      Only hope he has to keep power. But he still very much has a parliamentary majority willing to follow him. Even when they object like the disabled cuts. The actual changes Starmer was forced to make were very minimal.

      ATM there really is limited calls within his PLP for a new leader. And that leader when it finally happens will be from the right of the party unless something huge changes.
