My general feeling on the by election result

Reminder that any voting system where you can win a single seat without 50% of people thinking you're better than the alternatives is not fit for purpose.

In some ways I feel this weird four party political spectrum situation (again, ignoring Greens) is healthier than the three party situation we’ve had for many years, where the left wing vote was diluted between two parties and the right wing wasn’t.

Though it’s not reassuring that we seem to have ended up with far right, very right, moderately right, and somewhat left as our political options, with everyone but Lib Dems/Greens scrambling to court the Reform voters.

Agreed
