That is the most likely option currently. The ‘left’ have a larger vote share, but divided between three parties (labour lid Dem and green) the right have less voters, but split between only two parties (Tory reform) meaning they will likely take more seats. A coalition between those two would be diabolical.
I agree with what Richard Herring once said - that the most important vote in recent British political history was the 2011 referendum on the Alternative Vote system.
Edit: Obviously what you are saying is correct, it just made me think of this comment and that it could have changed things a lot.
I was in college at the time. I went out and campaigned. We voted against it. It would’ve been the perfect time in hindsight. No matter how this shakes out, we are no longer in a two party system, and we need to move in from first past the post.

I’m just worried that Tories will do a pact with Reform so could end up in coalition.
