Of course one can ask what "economic policy" even means in the culture war era. But as Stephen Bush has pointed out, Labour's choices so far have consistently piled costs and obligations onto the private sector - in contrast with Blair's government.

Interestingly, I wouldn't say Labour's economic policy itself tacks centre-right / pro-business. The red line on Brexit is cultural not economic, and the tax straitjacket stems from fear of economic honesty (shared by all parties TBH). Of course, these things still result in a stagnant economy.

i do genuinely wonder if reactionary cenrists ever get tired of never being right about anything

Our party claims to value equality, consent, and self-determination. If this is still true, it must reverse this decision immediately.

YouGov consistently has the lowest % for Reform - other pollsters have them just over 30%. But I think the overall picture is right yeah. All depends whether we get to a place where the anti-Reform vote is obvious in any given constituency.

Well I mean
Depends how they want to run the role
The constitution gives the party president the powers that it does; if the president then wants to go on TV a bunch, the constitution can't really do anything about that right?

It got changed to something like "primary voice of the membership"

and indeed Tories losing far more voters to Reform than the Lib Dems nevertheless causes a transfer of seats to the Lib Dems, especially where the Lib Dems consolidate the anti-Reform vote

These are the results of intra-block movement (and differential turnout) under a first past the post election system

I agree, but, I mean that's, what the bathroom ban *is*: a breach of trans people's dignity and safety. As long as it's a specific criticism and not a generic platitude, I don't see anything wrong with using the words that describe the bad thing.
