‘The UK needs a new voting system first’: Readers react to Corbyn’s new left-wing party

PJeremy Corbyn’s new left -wing party UBLIC response was confused with many people Independent Readers are more concerned about the British election system than the party itself.
Some of them welcomed the alternative they see as the “Toray-Lite” workers’ government, while most of them admitted that for the first time the (FPTP) system made the smallest parties almost impossible to succeed and made the risk of dividing the left vote almost impossible.
“The dog’s breakfast, the British politics, will continue until the election system is changed to proportional representation (PR),” a commentator wrote.
Others were afraid that the movement could give power to the Torah-Reform Coalition, a reader warning: “If you think that Johnson and Truss were bad, wait until Farage and Jenrick have managed to destroy.”
Although Corbyn is popular among young voters, many readers have now questioned the strategy behind the launch of a new party. “This is a disaster waiting to be realized,” he said. “The left is already fragmented and needs unity, it’s divided more.”
While some saw the movement as a protest rather than a serious political project, others argued that he could force the labor to shift to the left or to adopt the PR.
Here is what you have to say:
There is no real in the UK
I certainly don’t like conservatives and I don’t like reform England even more. The problem with the current workers’ government is that they are Toray Lite. I can’t see Corbyn’s PM. Starmer is unfortunately very authoritarian – so the prison of peaceful protesters.
If we talk personally, I want to see a combination of lib dem and greens in power, but it is almost zero. Lib Dems is more than labor on the left.

Do you think the British voting system should change? Let us know Comments under.
Wait a confusion until the system changes
Although it is perfect to have more options that voters can choose, unfortunately, because of its initial history of the post -election system (FPTP), it is only “water” with the anti -toric/reform votes, because these right -wing parties and “supporters” will stick to each other.
Remember Lib DEMS, who commands voters a fair share – but not enough for the majority. This may result in permanent right -wing governance! Until the election system is changed to proportional representation (PR), the breakfast of the dog with Brit politics is a permanent torry/reform group in power because of the irrigation of the center and left vote, as I said, “or T’other” or as I said!

This is a step but first PR comes first
A step in the right direction – many of them think that they have a Hobson’s choice at the moment, offering voters a wider choice. However, it does not work as an alternative under FPTP.
To be successful, a real PR format must come first – release voters to vote for their real preferences to prevent one alternative. Corbyn wouldn’t be around for a long time, and I think it would willingly take a step back when there was a more real center left labour type alternative.

Finally, an election outside the center
I think the public has a slightly right -wing party in the reform and the central Wef/Con Blairites we have had since 1997, and it has a slightly left -wing party to vote with Corbyn.

New parties need deep pockets to survive
I have two basic thoughts on this:
First, for the first time in England, the “Masquerade” party was not established. Unfortunately, George Galloway’s “Respect” party, such as the Green Party and Niche clothes, almost no contact with FPTP for a long time.
Secondly, instead of making a difference in order to have the chance to survive, this assumed political party must support serious (money containers). If this side later shows sufficient support, I suspect that any proportional election system brought to the current government due to the increasing threat of election will be withdrawn.

Corbyn’s party will not win, but it can force workmanship
Although this new party will certainly not win the election, and probably a few deputies, a threat of division in the left vote – the fact that the reform permits a lower percentage at a time lower than last year – hopefully motivates to change some policies. Probably in 2029 to direct them to tactical voting for them to encourage the manifesto-verified PR/Election Reform, so they may have a better chance for the JC party in 2034.

It can give power to a divided left for Farag
I remember that the SDP will “change the politics in England forever.” They did – Tories leaned further to the right and continued their winning choices. I don’t like Starmer, but the division of the worker game will give us a Toray/Reform coalition.
If you think Johnson and Truss are bad, wait until you see what Jenrick/Farage has managed to destroy.

New parties are meaningless without PR
Britain needs a new voting system before needing more parties. These small new party initiatives are useless in the current system. Corbyn’s main political goal for life is to carry out a protest movement – and that will be. – itrellyisnot
FPTP stops Corbyn’s threat
Without our FPTP selection system, Corbyn would be a serious threat.

Reform will benefit mostly from Corbyn’s movement
Corbyn’s new party will receive votes from the Labor Party, but it is unlikely to win more than a handful of seats. Prime Minister beneficiaries will be reform.
It was a serious mistake to fire Corbyn for labor, because it was always clear that he would be in a position to retaliate from the left.

It is a disaster in a shredded left waiting
When we need some kind of brutal pragmatic unity in the face of ‘covering’ – Corbyn to save – and Waltzes Corbyn and a maximum division of 5 to 10 percent. A more inefficient division between a already fragmented center/left on a right -handed, highly organized, well -organized, highly coordinated and extremely effective right than ever, is an absolute disaster waiting to take place. I don’t really see a way out of this.
