So why is Starmer not progressing Proportional Representation? @labour4pr.bsky.social
It’s not that difficult I suggest to Labour MPs. Some prefer factionalism and internal narrow victory over each other rather than focusing on the real enemy posed by reform. Failure to unite will deliver the U.K. under FPTP to a right wing ordeal that may last for generations.
