Petrified fucking terror. That’s the first thing you think when you look at Labour. A barely-concealed, buttoned-up, can’t-sleep-at-night anxiety, lurking just behind the eyes. They’re scared they’ll fluff it. They’re scared that in the white heat of the election campaign, the Tories will find some policy in their manifesto to weaponise against them and the whole thing will come crashing down.
If labour win with a large majority they need to fucking use it.
Get some laws repealed get better ones passed and for god sakes look at proportional representation the country is crying out for it
If Labour win with a large majority, and I quote, “Now is not the time to be making radical changes to our parliament what we need is three to four full term parliament’s with which to improve the country under a Labour government”… they’ll kick it into the long grass.
They are no fans of PR if it means a majority. Neither are the Tories. And round and round we go!
Personally I think PR is the single most important thing that we need to achieve if we ever want any progress in this country. We can’t keep having this choice between the Tories and the party people vote for to keep the Tories out.
Maybe there needs to be a single issue party that needs to exist to apply pressure, like ukip did with Brexit.
Not even maybe.
We need two parties, a left wing PR group to pressure Labour, and a right wing one to pressure Conservatives.
It will let them argue the point that it’s beneficial for each side of the room without getting bogged down with playing the tie colour game.
