The Tories do not look progressive under fptp

It is not very sensible for the Conservative party (the generic party of the centre-right) to think that they have a good chance under fptp. Fptp favours Labour because it enables them to seem progressive... being the 'default' party under fptp is not a good thing because the voters do not feel they are actively making a change to their country. People do not feel voting Tory under fptp is progressive and for that reason they will not do so which gives the advantage to Labour. Labour prefer fptp because it makes them look progressive... the voting system is not symmetrical in this regard. Fptp is better for Labour because it enables them to look progressive unlike the Tories. The Tories cannot look progressive under fptp.
