@TimWardCam @ChrisMayLA6 It's worth noting how these parties actually handle their internal elections. Labour use AV for candidate selection. Greens use STV for candidate selection and multi-seat committees, and always include RON (re-open nominations) as an option. Green commitment to PR is actually baked in at a very foundational level.

@TimWardCam

Sadly, that has been what has happened with previous political parties advocating for electoral change.... thinking the Greens might be different is the triumph of however experience...

@petealexharris @ChrisMayLA6

Just enough of them understood in the summer of 2024 - and one of them - #vidhyaalakeson - was in a position to act - to be able to prevent #shabanaMahmood , #jessphillips and #wesstreeting from sharing the fate of #thangamdebonaire and #jonathanashworth . There are some suggestions that their authority has increased - with the departure of #morganmcsweeney and others. Somebody there may even got round to reading the latest version of #thebritishelectionstudy!

@petealexharris @ChrisMayLA6 This is the one saving grace in the UK's version of their FPTP system. In the UK, "hung" parliaments are at least possible. The FPTP system makes them a lot less common, but it can happen.

So if the Greens find themselves in a "Kingmaker" position, there is one thing they must insist on: a hard commitment from their coalition partner to replace the FPTP voting system with something like PR-STV or vanilla PR. No coalition without it. Period.

@BashStKid

Indeed, given the possibility that in some future by-elections the advice may be *to* vote Labour tactically, it will be interesting to watch how they frame their likely hypocrisy on the issue

@alex_p_roe

ain't that the truth....
