The Conservatives are debating their future - but the path back to victory is not straightforward.

This gave me a big belly laugh:

Another Conservative said: “The answer is we need to find a way to appeal to voters we lost to all parties. I don’t know how you do that on policy, but Keir Starmer showed you can do it by looking competent and serious. But I don’t know if any of the candidates we have at the moment can do that.”

    End FPTP! Then fracture into the two (possibly three) parties you really are.

    (the same can be said for Labour. Winning elections in the U.K. is all about getting your own party to find some kind of middle road no-one in the party really likes, then convincing the voters you all believe it, all in the name of avoiding a greater evil, namely not being in power; is it any wonder voters are disillusioned and feel no-one really represent them).

      Thing is, I think the core Labour party would lead coalitions on a regular basis if we ditched FPTP. Far more than they win elections currently.
