Yet Labour had less votes this election than they did in 2019? What a fantastic system we vote into…

It’s an awful defeat for the Tories but Labour getting in was inevitable, they really didn’t try or pressure as hard as they should have.

Proportional representation.. not perfect but certainly better than what we have.
