it's so cool that the Labour Party essentially thinks left-punching is the way to win back the red wall and thinks that the left urban base that voted for them last GE has to vote for them lest Reform get in

In an alternate timeline where the PR system is already in place, Labour will be fully constrained by LibDems & Greens from amplifying the Reform UK (93 Seats) talking point.
🤔 this is EXACTLY the playbook with the majority of our Centrist Left in Murrikah too....is this an international thing? WTF is going on here? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
This attitude works great in a FPTP system tell you what
If Reform could truly supplant the Tories in the next election, I’d think that at least *somebody* in the Labour Party has considered that the Lib Dems could supplant Labour.
Like, if you want people to choose you as the most normal person running, you actually have to *approximate* being the most normal person running. And Starmer is going out of his way to be as abnormal and annoying as possible!
It's wild that the illiberal right has done mostly pretty well with "throw red meat to the base and fuck the rest, squishy rights will suck it up" strat and the left has dropped the ball with their "run right for the squishy lefts, fuck the base they'll suck it up" strat but no change is coming.
Hey, that's how the pedophile got back into the white house isn't it? "We aren't him so fuck you vote for us."
to be fair, some will, not so much holding their nose at the obviously racist policies but because they prefer that their nice neighbour enforce them rather than that vulgar Farage
It's a dismal prospect.
I've been to some dinner parties
and some on the "far left" will not vote for Starmer's Labour because they are doing racism wrong and more importantly, it's not *their* people doing the racism
Yeah, it's notable that the new Corbynite party recruited a TERF MP before it even decided on a name for itself.
also it's headed by Mr "Wholesale Imported" himself does not inspire confidence
