Pretty sad. There is a massive cry for reform and yet we have no one willing to take the bull by the horns.

    They’ll return anyway because Labour will be a milquetoast government only given power because the Tories were so unliked.

    The Tories who gave their vote to Labour will go back when nothing gets done and the left that Keir chased away won’t bother coming back

      That very much depends how the Tories change after the defeat. A look in the US’s GOP doesn’t bode well. Big money is funding this shambles, because they know this is a easy win for profits over time. I cannot see the Tories moving away from that cash cow quickly myself. I really would like to think I am wrong. Having one dominant party in the UK would not be good for us.

      The whole push behind electoral reform is to stop extremism being prevalent in the two main parties. A PR voting system would moderate any party that wants serious election results. And just as much as the current bunch in the Tories have been bad for the UK, I believe Corbyn could have easily been as bad.
