UK General Election 2029 - Trading ONLY thread

It feels like the country kind of needs it. First past the post only really worked when elections were two horse races, and as politics becomes increasingly fragmented perhaps it's time to move on?

I think so plus will help limit the extremes on both sides (hopefully)...

I also like the idea that a parliament elects the Prime Minister (and can dispose of). It makes sense in a proportional representation world.

Hopefully will also mitigate against the nonsense situations many find themselves in with tactical voting for people and parties they don't support. Farcical if you think about it.

Has anyone ever heard such language from a political party as has been expressed by Labour over the last 3 days? And what do they hope to gain from it ... either people will have forgotten it in 3+ years or if they remember it, it will be for the appalling language! Whichever way it shows to me they are shit scared of Farage.
