Rachel Greenham@mastodon.socialtoUK Politics@feddit.uk•Ed Davey: ‘Tactical voting can lock Tories out of power for a generation’

1 year ago@Greenseer @mannycalavera @SubArcticTundra @marcas AKA: Labour exists to keep the tories in power. But yes, because #PR will also exclude Labour from a parliamentary majority for ever. That they, more than the tories, would nevertheless be in government most of the time isn’t enough for them.
Anyway, Labour and Tories could win a majority in #PR any time they want: They just have to get more people to vote for them than against them. What a funny idea! 😱
@happy @Greenseer @mannycalavera @SubArcticTundra @marcas yes, this is the labour leadership being the problem here, not the party as a whole. except, if the party ultimately can’t require that the leadership represents them, it doesn’t really make a difference to the rest of us what they feel.
