Agreed - I’m not delusional! It’s my constant highlighting of anti-Labour media bias in any context

My worry is that with FPTP predicting what might happen in a GE is very difficult. The stakes are that high I might advocate as a complete one off a Labour/Libdem/Green Alliance ahead of a GE. Labour to set agenda with the added promise of Electoral reform.

We definitely need electoral reform, although it was voted down some years ago!

Percentage of votes equates to %age of seats!

I would support two elected houses. The upper house using pure D‘Hondt PR for the whole country - and for the lower house some form of AV/STV as proportional as possible whilst maintaining Local representation.

Look to Europe to see what PR systems are used there and work effectively. No need to invent the wheel again!

It’s not as perfect as you describe - the grass is always greener - look at the far right in Italy and many others dodgy coalitions. PR is not the panacea for all ills

Not claiming PR is panacea- far from it. The strongest arguments for FPTP is that it encourages „broad church“ party politics and thus tends to take out extremes. However now that politics is becoming more fragmented FPTP is no longer fit for purpose.

Possibly - or a hybrid PR & FPTP system
