    One of the few benefits of Reform if they do get in is they do support PR. Whether that support will dissolve the second they win under FPTP remains to be seen.

    Nope. They definitely will not move to a proportional representation system. Why the hell would they?

    Proportional representation benefits them when they are not in power because it’s the only way they can get into power, if they somehow manage to find a way into power under first past the post then introducing proportional representation would only dilute their power.

    In any scenario in which they have power they are unlikely to introduce proportional representation, and in any scenario where they support proportional representation, they won’t have enough power to actually implement it.

    Like most things with Reform, it’s all bark and no trousers.
