At a time of national crisis, no, I don't think the best thing to do is to exacerbate division. I'm not looking at the situation and saying, ah this is a great opportunity to get PR. I'm looking at the situation and thinking, there will be rioting on the streets in just over a month's time. One crisis at a time, eh?

I'm just being pragmatic about it.

While Labour and Conservatives are generally signed up to that 'broad church' nonsense you are not getting rid of FPTP. No chance. None.

Spoken like a true Stalinist. Off to the gulags with them!

Austin is a nasty racist, even TIG won't touch him he's that toxic.

Is there any evidence that Ian Austin is a nasty racist? (Looking at his voting record this doesn't seem to be the case) But if he is why he was allowed to act as a Labour MP for 14 years?

If anything getting rid of FPTP for AV would make things worse. Because all that happens is the 3rd largest party gains disproportionate power by becoming the kingmaker.
