phew! great question. I don´t regret voting Labour to get the tories out. If the Greens had a chance to have won I would have voted Green. But I am disappointed with how right of centre the Labour Party appear

I wish it was only a matter of Labour 'appearing' right of centre. But surely, how you act when you HAVE power is more sure a gauge of who you really are than what you say when you want to GAIN it. While there are some who remain in it that are still principled left, they have been made a minority.

If only there was PR so that there was more Green Party voices in parliament, & I would prefer a Labour Party that had more voices like Clive and Andy.

There is a conundrum because FPTP functions as a trap - where those who want PR nonetheless continue voting for parties who do not want it, thus perpetuating the very system which manipulates their vote. Thus rewarding them for not introducing PR Don't be conned!
