Tbf reforms would help greens, reform n libs too. Only labour n tories benefit from current system
When it was done in 2011, there was no interest in either Labour or the Tories campaigning for it. We were still very much a predominantly two party system, the LD’s were a strong party but they were minor and the short sighted view was that we’d only ever be a two party system with this sort of buzzy LD bee hoovering up niche seats when they got bored with their incumbent but wouldn’t vote for their absolute opposite.
