I’m not in the UK, so there are probably years of nuance that I’m missing, but it felt like they forgot about actual labour voters immediately after the election.
Are progressives or real, avowed socialists so unelectable today that the Labour party has come to this?
I’m thinking back to my youth, when in honesty I didn’t pay nearly enough attention to politics, but my thought was that they need more Tony Benn or Ken Livingstone than Tony Blair - say whatever else you like about those guys, but I don’t remember them being apologetic for being who they were.
Love that subtext.
