  • new parties are as much a risk as they are a boon

    A risk to what? I’m not sure there’s anything valuable at risk in FPTP elections anymore. Beyond the possibility of not getting more Labour just being Tory/Reform with red ties. And even that can’t really be “lost” by the Corbyn party. With the Tories dead in the water and unable to meaningfully split the vote, if most Tory/Reform voters last time vote Reform this time, then Labour is guaranteed to be absolutely demolished by Reform next election.

    The Corbyn party is expected to draw away some Reform voters, at least. I think it has a lot of flaws, but hopefully it’ll be a platform to do at least some left-wing messaging.

    Either way, Labour really have to enact PR before the next election or we will be governed by unmasked fascists. Corbyn party or no.
