How we can smash Britain’s two-party system for good at the next election | George Monbiot
www.theguardian.com
Labour is beyond repair. Time for a co-ordinated strategy to support progressive parties committed to electoral reform, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

George Monbiot suggests that Labour shouldn’t be supported because they’re now pushing right-wing policies, in his view.

So he thinks people should tactically support progressive parties who support electoral reform (Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru), which may hopefully then lead to electoral reform, so that we end up with proportional representation. Then Brits will have more choices than effectively just two parties for future elections.

Thoughts?

      That would require a massive reworking of how our system works, wouldn’t it?

      Couldn’t just ranked choice fix the majority of the issues with voting?

      Doesn’t STV require a reworking of the whole system? I.e electing more than one MP per constituency? We had the 2011 AV referendum which failed miserably, i still remember the disgusting ‘this premature baby needs an incubator, not a new voting system’ adverts… I often wonder what things would be like had it succeeded.
