Obvious PR winners would be @UKIP, @TheGreenParty, and @LibDems, losers: @theSNP, and @Conservatives.

.@UKLabour would technically lose seats (232 to 198), but I'd argue they would be in a better position...

1) They'd go from 100 behind Tories to 40 behind 2) No Tory majority 3) From 1 to 14 seats in Scotland

To be clear, Tories would still have won and Cameron would have stayed Prime Minister due to coalition arithmetic: pic.twitter.com/lOPHS9bGxj

But I have to imagine LAB would be able to use CON having to rely on UKIP votes against them the same way CON did same to LAB w/r/t SNP.

"Do you really want Nigel Farage to be Deputy Prime Minister?" etc

This is of course an imperfect analysis, because electoral reform would change who people vote for.

From Labour's perspective, none of this changes fact that first priorities have to be making up deficits on economy and leadership.

But embracing PR, in addition to being better for democracy on merits, would be in their self-interest.

In the same way it would significantly benefit @TheDemocrats in the U.S., which I wrote about last fall: http://bit.ly/1K35McI .

By the way, there are parallels between the "boundary changes" the Tories are proposing and GOP gerrymandering: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-19166125 ….
