Johnson administration reverted to FPTP the try and negate tactical voting,
i.e., Green then Labour.

I don't think I've ever previously seen an election go backwards,
to a less progressive voting system, like this before

I'm surprised/dismayed there isn't more press, more discussion, more something. I've seen a few posters about bringing ID, but nothing about the changing system.

Isn't Green then Labour the opposite of tactical voting? It's voting for who you really want first, then who you'll tolerate second. Rather than the tactical voting of FPTP which is vote for whoever is mostly likely to stop the one you really hate.

As an environmentalist, I have to accept that the Green candidate is (currently) not going to be elected Mayor of London. Boosting the votes total for the Mayoral candidate hopefully suggests to those wavering to vote Green for the London-wide Assembly members.
