    Honestly, they are talking about relations allowing the rail - they are left wing. Starmer just happens to be a pragmatist who actually wanted to get elected. You wait and see how much better state the country is in after 5 years under a left end labour government

      While privatizing healthcare and continuing anti trans policies. If the only way to be elected in the UK is to really far right shit then that’s some societal rot right there.

      The UK may even be doing better in 5 years but that would be an insanely low bar, currently the only economically viable area is London and the whole country is being overtaken by fucking Poland economically.

        I was tentatively optimistic about Starmer on some of those fronts after writing him off as a hack but yeah, recently he ranted about how trans women shouldn’t be allowed in bathrooms so…the grey area is gone, he just wants his party to be the Tories but painted a different color.

      Honestly, good for you. I think you’re entirely deluded but maybe I’m just jaded from seeing centrist parties worldwide fail for the last two decades.
