I wrote to the Government in July, urging that they introduce proportional representation before the next General Election, as the top priority. Otherwise under our arcane first past the system, there is a chance the charlatan Farage’s Reform could hold the balance of power. I suspect that Reform might well implode before then, but it is not worth the risk.
Who would've thought a couple of days ago that the political landscape could be so suddenly upended by the (comparatively) minor matter of Angela Rayner's error?
And yet it is no surprise that Farage jumped on the disaster bandwagon yesterday, proclaiming himself and his rabble-rousers as saviours of the nation.
If Keir Starmer wastes this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the necessary changes, he will surely go down as a 21st Century British Nero - fiddling while everything burns. And Farage will rise from the ashes, a malevolent phoenix, ready to complete the collapse and destruction of what was once a great nation.
So, around 20% of voters still support the current government while 60% support electoral reform. Wake up and smell that coffee Sir Keir! Who knows, you could become historically significant....
This was only to be expected as Angela Rayner is a working class girl who has been hung out to dry by the establishment NAZIS who are hanging on every utterance of farrago the fascist. Starmer should NOW exit from the Labour party with an apology for besmirching the name of a once great party and reducing it to the level of the tories and farrago's fascists. Your Party for the next government !
This article is too long. I'd share it widely but fear most recipients wouldn't read to the end. Think about it! I'm sure its message could be put more succinctly.
Liked, restacked and shared to Blu Sky. If only Labour would get its collective thumb out and deal more effectively with Farage (ughh - sorry, had to wash my mouth out!)
We definitely need PR. Nigel Farage worries me greatly. Keir needs to think hard before he makes any decisions. I really do not like the way the UK is going.
Most of the younger members of my family think Keir is secretly working for Reform. I think he’s just useless and whatever brain power he may have had once has simply turned to dust. The present Labour Party will soon be History.

Under PR, Reform will go the same way as AFD in Germany.

We need PR and if Kier can't see that he will be the architect of his own demise and the Labour Party's.
Please Kier, sieze the day... such a clear analysis of an opportunity.
Well the 64,000 dollar question is "will Keir be bold?" I'm not optimistic.
Great analysis. Totally agree. Time for some strong leadership from Starmer. His legacy starts here.

The problem is Sir Keir seems to have forgotten why he was elected. His paralysis is actually quite frightening. For god's sake DO something

What a vile pic .. but …with the great man in the background

Possibly. But not while Reform remains a one man ego trip!
