Neil Kinnock: Split progressive vote Labour's biggest election threat - LabourList Neil Kinnock has warned that a split progressive vote amongst Liberal Democrat, Green and other parties is Labour’s biggest challenge come the next general election.

💯 Neil Kinnock is right. We need change - starting with a National Commission on Electoral Reform

A record three-fifths of people (60%), are in favour of changing the electoral system for UK general elections, according to the latest British Social Attitudes survey from @natcen.bsky.social
