The only justification for not doing this is protectionism. Starmer is placing party above country. We can see how damaging the Tories are. I do not want to see their likes again.

Err… It would have been a Con-UKIP coalition under PR.
Also, your argument for PR isn’t going to be very successful if it’s based purely on trying to keep a party out.
Also, don’t go for the tedious “fascist” label. We’re not on Twitter here.
No, UKIP-Con would not be a majority.

We are a liberal majority country. It is FPTP that gives us regressive right wing governments.
Same in the USA.
Yer I know, but I think we in the UK have more hope of sorting our system.
We’ve had a Conservative-ukip coalition since 2015. With PR the progressive parties would have had enough power to quickly nip the Conservatives insanity in the bud.
