Labour really ought to open their eyes. Electoral reform would be the best way to allow people to vote for who they really wanted. FPTP leads to tactical voting to keep people out.
I don't think that Starmer is evil incarnate, as those on the hard Left do, but he is unimaginative, and I don't think can really deal with the threat from the hard Right, which would mean bringing in European-style PR systems.
The Lib Dems and Greens could do a Miss Trunchbull, pick up the Reform winning post, and fling it far over the horizon (by standing aside candidates in a highly strategic fashion).
