That's right.
Proportional Representation is both the right thing to do, and the politically strategic thing for Labour to do.
Starmer has all the power now - he should use it, and the pressure to do so isn't going away.

This Governments branding of protest as 'terrorism' has seen grandparents arrested and dragged through the courts simply for holding up signs.
It's deeply authoritarian when people are speaking out against a genocide and for a free Palestine.
The Charity Commission has referred claims that 32 UK charities funnelled £28m to illegal Israeli settlements to the police and HM Revenue & Customs

No, they didn’t.
One of them, Sam Corner, was found to have injured Sgt Evans without intent.
There was no such accusation against any of the others.
Kemi Badenoch committed contempt of court on live television during their trial.
If a company tried selling apartments in apartheid South Africa in London, there would be outrage.
Yet Labour is allowing a real estate fair marketing homes in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land.
Labour rolls out the red carpet for Israeli war criminals, criminalises those resisting genocide, and keeps supplying arms to a genocidal apartheid state.
Ban this event NOW.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
Once again - this CANNOT be put on drivers. Firms need to be legally responsible for the FULL costs of damage AND train delays. Given this can quickly run into the millions, the threat of a bridge strike resulting in total bankruptcy might help them take it seriously.
Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.
Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.
As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.
Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
3 of the 4 people didn’t attack the police officer and all of the 4 were cleared of violent intent. So the only disgrace here is the lie you’re telling to justify a clear miscarriage of justice & the use of anti-terror laws to justify your government’s complicity in a genocide.
He is literally inciting racist pogroms on our streets using the communications platform he bought because he has too much money.
Musk is actively making black & brown people physically unsafe in their homes with his trillions. Ask them what difference it makes to their lives🙄
The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers.
Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.
These are devastating statistics.
No one should be going hungry in 21st century Britain.
Fantastic to see @IanByrneMP fighting to end the scourge of food poverty under this Labour Government.
Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country.
Time for him to pipe down.
Keir Starmer’s time as Prime Minister will be remembered for indecision and an unwillingness to commit to the difficult decisions.
You can’t please everyone in Government, yet Starmer has uniquely managed to please no one.

It's time for greater regulation of our political donations system ⌛️
As well as caps on donation size, donors should also be banned from receiving government contracts when the receiving party comes into power
