Much as I’d like more left-wing policies from Labour (or whoever!), the fact is just over 51% of thr UK population favour far right policies. Do we stick to our guns and lose the next election? Will a more radical left idealogy somehow persuade those voting for reform to vote Labour instead?
Look back to the hatchet job done on Jeremy Corbyn. He had his issues, for sure, but the right wing has spent the last decades fine tuning their political warfare. For Corbyn, it was that he supported Palestine. For Kamela, it was she didn’t support Palestine. I get what you are saying, but this perfect-or-nothing attitude landed the US with Trump. And the rightnwing know the left loves to find an excuse to not vote and leverage that over and over again. If we want to stop the fascists, we need to wake up to the way we are being manipulated.
This Labour government won’t implement leftwing policies. But calls for those are certainly not the cause for this shift to the extreme right.
