. Still pissed off with Labour for putting up a candidate which split the vote
The inability of our left and left of centre parties to co ordinate has undoubtedly led to more Tory governments, and greater hardship for more vulnerable people. On the continent coalition is the norm.

On the continent coalition is the norm.
Isn’t that mostly because the elections on the continent aren’t fptp? (And the greater plurality of the party political system, which fptp actively discourages)

The problem is the electoral system, which discourages coordination. The LibDems had a once in a lifetime opportunity to change it and got fobbed off with a referendum rather than forcing a change.

My last constituency in the UK has Raab as the MP. Still pissed off with Labour for putting up a candidate which split the vote enough to ensure more Raab.
