A good answer, thank you.

Again while I understand the logic of your argument, you are still saying that it’s not possible for left wing policies/actions to survive the consequences. So what is the answer?

I understand this, however at every turn presented, there will be consequences to those actions. In a world fuelled by evil, I expect the consequences of doing even the smallest act of good to be severe. We must perservere.

I understand the current political climate presented a choice of “embrace the right” or “embrace the left”. The sad fact is that we the left are harder to please than the right, and because of that I believe Starmer made the wrong choice.

I can’t help but agree with you, though I am utterly appalled that it may come to this.

Depends what we class as possible, is an LD/Green coalition possible? Sure. But likely enough to consider in the realms of possibility? Not at all. Tories will form a pact with Reform, mark my words. That leaves 2 options; a Lab pivot and reformation in the polls or PR coalition. Neither seem likely

It could but I’d also point out that with the Tories, we saw it coming from a mile away. Unfortunately I feel the same is currently true for Labour. I never thought I’d be saying it, but I’m not sure I can vote for them again except to keep reform out of power.

I would be very happy to see that, but with the way things are looking I’m worried it would take a 4 way between Lab, LD, SNP & Greens, of which there is no chance of happening. Labour could have pivoted left and allowed the right to continue to eat itself but instead we are facing a reform gov.

I don’t think I am jumping the gun, unless Labour make a major shift in policy and bring in PR in order to consolidate the left wing vote, I can’t see any other outcome. Starmer’s blinkered determination to somehow curry favour with the rabid right is going to be Labours undoing.

I live locally so it’s more to do with eyewitness accounts. I trust it to be accurate.
