I mean, good that the combined Con+Ref vote is about a third. So even if all Ref went home (and they won’t), it wouldn’t be enough. But the sheer number of seats Labour would get from 47% under FPTP would be horrible. Total dominance isn’t terribly democratic.

Also not excited about the prospect of a two-party state if the Libs head into rounding error territory. Con and Lab both trend authoritarian rather than liberal. For all their faults, having a solid LD presence (say, Kennedy era numbers) is a good thing. I’d like to see dozens of Greens too.
