Here is Andy Burnham’s route to save Labour: a new manifesto, a new election and electoral reform | Polly Toynbee

Proportional representation can rescue Britain’s warped politics. It could stop Nigel Farage arriving at No 10 with less than 30% of the vote, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

If Burnham becomes PM, should he call a new election with electoral reform in his manifesto?

Labour’s current options are limited due to the limited manifesto they ran on in 2024.

Of course the risk with a general election is that it could put Farage into number 10 with a Reform/Tory coalition government.

What do you think?

    Yeah no a new election will not save labour.

    It may be the right thing mortality wise.

    But Def not the best thing for the party. No new manifesto is going to earn trust without a new leader actually making some changes and watching them work.

    And the only people who think it would currently be the best thing for the UK. Are the billionaires funding reform. Or the idiots thinking immigration is the cause of all our issues.
