I left the UK because best case scenario, Labour would continue internet monitoring and censorship, and keep brexit. Fuck em.
I told those people millions of times to vote for Lib Dems or greens, “oh but third party blah blah” ok great. Somehow , Reform , despite being a third party is about to eat the conservatives.

Fundamentally, half of the electorate needs to collaborate on a single third party and be convinced that enough other people will also vote that way so their vote isn’t thrown away. A coalition involving the Greens (for example) as a minority party won’t give them enough power to change anything.
The only way out of this – unless Reform get into power and abolish First Past the Post in their own interests while not undermining democracy in other ways, which would be a silver lining on a very dark cloud – is if the public put a ton of pressure on the government for voting reform.
The calls are getting louder, and groups like the ERS have started to publish promising polling recently, but it needs a monumental effort.
Judging by New Labour’s absolute majority on 32% of votes cast with a turnout of 60%, you don’t need half of the electorate to collaborate, just a little less than one fifth.
You need much less than that if the point is merelly to screw up New Labour’s electoral chances.
