Are we happy with the general election result?

I see that after voting to implement Proportional Representation in 2022, Labour have now pushed the idea off until after the next election

his [Starmers[ leadership team have dismissed any chance of action [on implementing PR], saying people would be “kidding themselves” if they believed it would find any bandwidth within a first term of government.

It sounds like they are not even supporting their own policies now they have a supermajority.

Snouts are firmly in the trough with their curly tails waving at the electorate. Who could have predicted it?

I have my doubts about PR. It was wise of Starmer and Labour not to come out in support for it pre election.The r/w press would've relentlessly  pushed that Labour wasn't capable of running the country on its own. For me the best time was after winning an election. Doing it from a position of strength.

It would be like turkeys voting for Chirstmas though. They probably would not be able to win outright ever again so they just punt it down the line until the next election then repeat ad infinitum.
