Look at the actual numbers of votes cast. I can make a case that this is a genuine multi-party European democracy being strangled by FPTP.
Now, will Starmer have the courage to grasp that nettle and produce electoral reform, at the expense of depriving future Labour leaders (& their Tory counterparts, of course) of the opium of absolute majorities?
