Without PR, Labour will almost never be in power, particularly as the Tory gerrymandering and media dominance consolidates. Which is better?
With PR, don't you pretty much ensure a Labour-SNP coalition? Hard to see how demand no. 1 wouldn't be an second independence referendum (that would probably succeed). Then you are stuck with Tory gov'ts forever in rUK unless voting patterns change.

Boggles the mind that Labour never went all-in for PR. It's the ultimate example of party over principle. With PR, you know you're as likely as not to be in government with people you need to compromise a lot with, but you're likely to be in government. It may not be 'your party' as you know it, but does any major UK party bear even a passing resemblance to the one it was even 5 years ago?
