So he'll stand down all candidates where a vote split is probable?

    The question specifically was, after an election, whether he would go into a coalition that would lead to proportional representation if it meant enabling Farage to be Prime Minister. That's what he said would be a red line.

    Totally, and the point I was glibly implying was that the Greens are much more likely to take votes from the Lib Dems and Labour, than they are the Tories or Reform. As such, the circumstances for a Reform+Con minority looking for further coalition partners are where the Lab/Dem/Green vote has split and caused Ref/Con to get more seats than they actually should have.

    I'm hoping that when 2029 rocks up we see a repeat of 2025, where the tactical votes play out correctly and we get some combination of Lab gov and Lib/Green opposition. I'm so sick and tired of right wing opposition to centrism (at best).
