I mean I do agree and I’m terrified of a world where reform get any sort of power. I also voted green but green doesn’t have the same level of following. A small subset will vote for them, but not enough for the FPtP to allow them to make change. What is scary is that Farrage seems to be taking a lot of people who are disinfranchised with labour or con and uniting them around hate for immigration and just like Brexit, ‘promises’ (please read lies) that he will fix the UK and not just push us further towards division and unease. While Zack Polanski is IMO a much more suitable leader (and human being), he’s not the radical change that people who feel squeezed will vote for. Labour only got 34% of the vote which lead to 63% of the seats. I understand PR isn’t perfect but that doesn’t feel like something that should be in the range of outcomes.

But the problem is the same problem it’s always been with UK politics that first past the post doesn’t actually allow for any change or for the greens to get in. Kier has always advocated for proportional representation but got in because of FPtP so has gone silent on it as will all people who get power through a broken system. So the greens will get fewer seats and not be able to make any change… Maybe I’m just cynical of the government here.
