A surprise motion for a bill to introduce proportional representation passed today.
Rupert Lowe of Reform failed to vote for it despite it being in their manifesto.
To be fair, he was probably busy being distracted by milk or pretending not to know that a fellow Reform MP slapped a woman about.

Proportional Representation is very exciting.
Unfortunately for him, 30p Lee can't count.
The fault of that bellend Nick Clegg.

If you want to ensure they can be safely ignored then you want PR.
Labour 236
Tory 157
Reform 97
Lib Dem 77
Green 42
SNP 18
Sinn Fein 5
Plaid 4
DUP 4
Alliance 3
UDP 2
SDLP 2
TUV 1
Other 7
Which would give us a Tory/Reform/Lib Dem/DUP/TUV/UDP coalition. 338
Labour could not rely on SNP or Plaid either.
Maybe even Plaid and SNP.
And you really think that LibDems would ever hands with Reform ? Or be in the same room ? Nope.
Labour couldn't rely on SNP or Plaid because in Scottish Parliament/Senedd Cymru Labour are their main opponents.
2010 suggests Lib Dems would go with the biggest block.
Not sure about Greens?
They enabled the Tories to govern in 2010 & win again in 2015. Labour were on the whole Pro-EU & the Tories were 65/35 anti-EU in 2010.
Unfortunately EU membership is a done idea for the next 20 years at least. :(
I say this with a heavy heart as a remoaner, but no party that advocates for freedom of movement would get anywhere near power in the UK. That is why Labour is pushing immigration so hard.
One presumes people voted for the party they wanted?
If anything Labour probably would be worse off due of all the tactical voting to get rid of the Tories. SNP and Plaid prob would have done better.
