    I feel it’s only going to be a gift for Reform. Talk about splitting the left vote… they’re splitting themselves!

      Splitting the left vote from what.

      The labour party already outright rejected the left. After lying to them to take power.

      For all greens growth. They have never been a huge left wing draw. They are a very centrist membership. As is ZPs political history. And given the lefts recent history with centrists has lead to Starmer etc.

      The simple fact is. No one party will successfully unit the left as a whole.

      With FPTP the only way the left is going to represent the population it actually holds. Is pre electoral agreements of some form.

      Fortunately both Green and YP are very much considering that nessesery.

      My opinion. It’s a bit like planning a PR like unification without PR. And is likely the only way to implement PR while larger party’s try to force their FPTP advantage.

      Fun fact MEE is based in the UK.

      Also this article was probably the most comprehensive one of the mess I’ve read so far.
