    very good,

    Put in context, Labour polled 33% of that vote, the lowest amount ever for any single party majority government getting 410 seats. If that aint broken I don't know what is.

    That is, indeed the problem with FPTP elections. It won't, IMO, ever be implemented in the UK.

    Lib Dems got 71 seats last week. IIRC, PR would have seen them get 62. Day after the election Davey said he's still in favour of it.

    Tories might like the idea now.

    Farridge certainly does.

    2016 Starmer was in favour of it. I wonder if he still is?
