In 2024 Labour won 34% of the vote which gave them 63% of the seats in Parliament and 100% of the power. It’s not hard to understand why the Labour leadership likes the system which gave them this. But they have to ask themselves, would they like it if Reform gained total power this way next time?

Every UK Government since has been out in by a minority of voters.
FPTP is designed to PREVENT democracy, and is working as intended.
Reform is very unlikely to win a majority under our present system, because you need to win seats not just votes. Under PR?
They don’t like the idea of sharing power, but fail to recognise that we all lose when the tide turns against them and a successor government undoes everything they’ve done.
As a country, we deserve much, much better.
Less turnout than in 2017, 43.6% of the vote, so 56.4% of voters didn't vote for a right-wing party, but 100% got it.
Didn't vote for Labour, but they're 100% best of the worst.
May got 42% (with Labour on 40%)
Johnson did get 43% but still less than half
and if you included registered voters who decided "non of the above" they have been the biggest percentage for the last 7 elections
One in three eligible people just don't trust any party 🤔
Another 14 years of Tories?
Ask yourself whether we could tolerate that, given the instability that it so often generates in other countries.
