The daft thing is that with Proportional Representation there'd be no need for this self-destructive war within Labour. It could split into its component parts - left and right - and people could vote for what they wanted. It's only First-Past-the-Post that forces these irreconcilables together.

Each constituency has a single MP, yet for most people this means the MP who “represents” them in parliament doesn’t share their politics, didn’t win a majority of the vote in their local area, and was chosen by a tiny handful of party insiders long before election day.

It’s become normality that Starmer says one thing to get elected as Labour leader, then does the opposite, just like on PR.

Andy Burnham has announced that he is seeking permission to stand in the upcoming Gorton and Denton parliamentary by-election.
If he won and became an MP, Burnham could mount a leadership challenge against Starmer.

Despite winning a majority at GE2024 under first-past-the post on under 34% of the votes cast,
66% of members would back a shift away from first-past-the-post in favour of PR for future elections.
