    Starmer ran a progressive campaign in 2024 and backtracked on it, and prior to that at the 2019 General Election Jeremy Corbyn got more votes than Starmer did.

    The problem is really:

    1. The media is completely owned and controlled by the ruling class, who push far-right politics, because it benefits them.
    2. The Labour Party has been completely co-opted by right-wing interests and now serves the ruling class rather than the working class.
    3. The FPTP electoral system makes third parties far less likely to be able to win at elections.

    Luckily for us, it seems the Greens have proven that Labour’s grasp on the duopoly isn’t quite as firm as they thought. I’m praying that Labour get completely wiped out at the next General Election and slip off into the quiet obscurity of history.

      It’s exciting isn’t it? If Starmer had any sense at all, he’d see the writing on the wall and introduce PR. Otherwise I think there’s a decent possibility that we’ll see a few high profile defections from Labour to Green and then electoral wipeout. At the moment I’d still expect Reform to win, but we can always hope.
