Labour had a chance in 2011 to get behind electoral reform in the referendum for PR. At the time they chose not to campaign for it because the current FPTP system was benefiting them and PR would have benefitted parties like the Greens and LD (who were in their 21st century peak having gained enough seats to be part of a collation govt.).
They had their chance. Moaning about it now is just sour grapes.

Doesn't change the fact the system is just shit though.

I don't buy this "you had your chance" stuff.
Politics is about what people want. So what if they didn't want it when you asked before?

I don't know if Labour specifically are moaning. This is me reflecting on my feelings about this and other elections.
I couldn't vote for my party of choice, had to vote tactical. A different system is needed.
I wouldn't have a problem with any party majority if that was a true reflection of the ballot.

Anyone involved in electoral reform campaign?
I'm keen to lend my support to one, but if there's loads all asking for different things I feel it'll be pissing in the wind.
Edit: https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/ seems to be main one?
