Fixing the electoral system and having another left-of-centre party don’t have to be mutually exclusive. I’d like to see both. And maybe a few more parties that represent other peoples perspectives so that we can do away with majority governments and let parties work together and make compromises to govern instead of the constant political ping-pong of majority governments undoing everything of the previous government and the constant negativity and attacks and tantrums. And I’m talking about a moderate, democratic, socialist party. Not some authoritarian communist party.
