    We have viable smaller parties.

    Not with FPTP. Even though Reform currently has the highest level of support, I doubt it would translate into a parliamentary majority.

      A coalition could achieve it, you wouldn’t need a majority.

      We wouldn’t be in the dire mess we are now if the AV referendum had succeeded.

      The best case scenario imo for the next election is reform continue to take votes away from the conservatives. The populace lose confidence in labour so they don’t secure enough votes for a majority. But they form a progressive alliance with libs and greens purely to enact electoral reform.

      Once we have proportional representation a new election is immediately called and we finally have fair representation. Reform will get a ton of seats so they finally feel represented. Same for lib dems and green.
