How are Labour doing after their first 12 months

The problem is you're just taking a few countries where it hasn't worked and saying "see, all these countries have copy and paste electoral systems and they don't work"

But, none of those countries have the same system, none of them have the system being proposed for the UK. So it's just noise.

The problem with the Tory/Lib coalition is this country is not at all designed for coalition governments and therefore they principally do not work, if the Liberals in anyway disagreed with the Tories and pulled out of a vote, they would be paralyzing parliament.

In Scandinavia, you agree coalitions BEFORE an election and the second largest parties leader takes the role of minister of finance, the direct right hand of the PM. It's not some topsy turvy world, it's something that happens all over the place. If you don't want a direct coalition, you can have voting blocs. Again, this happens all the time.

The way you stop extremist parties is a simple % threshold.

The only other option is parties like the Lib Dems, Reform, Greens are forced to shut down and get behind two of the big tents and we go the way of America, two party system with no hangers on.

You asked me for some examples, so I gave you some lol

And we've had it in the UK and it was a Vanilla shambles

I hear what you're saying though, and I agree there needs to be a threshold and a pre agreed structure

That way it stops a scenario where Labour lose just enough seats to form a Govt and Farage and Lowe have a renewed bromance and do a deal with Kemi to **** us all in the backsides for another 4 years.

Anyway I'd give this response more detail, but the footie is about to start.
