    Why Labour and Tories?

    They’re still polling relatively well and by the time the general election rolls around, they could be in better positions.

    I think Reform are winning the election too

    I guess the problem is that the anti-Reform vote is split among multiple parties. I would guess that Labour is the best-placed party to defeat Reform but yes they would need to make some big changes to pull in Green voters, Lib Dem voters, and even SNP and Plaid voters too.

      Gosh, I hope not. But, I acknowledge we might disagree on that

      I guess the problem is that the anti-Reform vote is split among multiple parties.

      There is a solution to that. After IDs we can acknowledge no referendum is required for election changes. Then push through Proportional Representation. Helps that labour have been elected on that premise before. PR naturally positions the center as the most powerful entity too, even in extreme times such as these.

        Proportional representation would be good. I doubt that Labour will bring it in though unfortunately.
