The labor leader is the most centrist, bland, and ineffective dude I’ve ever seen. This is absolutely going to be wasted opportunity unless they non-confidence him out.
Their platform doesn’t look awful but they need to make sure it actually happens.
The tragedy of our age is that we’ve got alt right parties in countries across the globe gaining speed while “leftist” parties just continue to push neoliberalism that is crushing us working folks. In countries where real leftist parties have control (Spain is an excellent example) people’s lives are noticeably improving and their popularity is solid… in the rest of the world it’s basically this really shitty game of “Do we have enough power to keep the disappointing centrists in control or is this the election we go full fucking nazi.” America, Canada and France are dealing with this now - the UK will probably have to deal with it next cycle.
From the results that have come in so far, the right wing populist party Reform UK is quickly rising as a new political force. They’ve placed second in at least three constituencies so far.
If Starmer’s Labour fail to make visible progress to the country’s fortunes we could be facing a Trump moment in the form of Nigel Farage.
Yeah, but you already have a king and we in the US just annointed our president king. Unless something changes hard for the better of the Republic in November, we’ll be a dictatorship in no time.
They better not waste it. The better make changes that actually makes people’s life’s better. Not just enrich the already wealthy
