  • Is there a scenario where this is the last FPP election? The tories get battered in this election, but Labour, after a term in power and seeing they won't get back, finally see sense and change the electoral method using their massive majority before the election after this one?

  • I think any party who wins by a majority is not going to look to change the system they benefitted from. I also think it’s unlikely to be brought forward by either of the main two parties, and can only be used as a negotiating tool by smaller parties looking to make a deal to help either of the main two form a government of the time. Here’s hoping it is isn’t banjaxed next time round.

  • The first past the post system suits the major parties. If Labour have a large majority, they'll have no incentive to change it.
