It is also possible to think Labour has been a disgrace on Freedom of Movement (tightening the rules for EU immigrants and UK emigrants is seen as equality, ok...why not make the argument to really ditch the visa system?) and Brexit (whipping A50 with no plan, great thinking...) but still see them as better than the Tories in all other aspects.
But the FPTP voting system doesn't really allow compromise like STV.
In STV you may not get your first candidate...but you will get somebody allied with them, so they won't be a million miles off. So you can vote Greens first, if they can't get in for your area, you may get Labour. Or Tories first (yuck) but you get the LibDems so you are stil sorta happy.
How to get to STV with citizen assemblies though...I really don't know. All parties would need to support it OR a coalition minority party needs to put it on the table (the Greens might) OR the UK needs to go yellow vests on Westminster.
