Alex 38319 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The kind of tragedy here is that I think with the right policies, PR, strategies and a willingness to work together, the Lib Dems could take a lot of the middle England Tory heartland seats in a GE and Labour could defeat Reform. I think the LDs would be up for it with some concessions on voting reform (no pun intended). Not a fucking hope that Labour would do the right thing though. Not least as there’s an aversion to the left wing principles that a lot of their MPs still have. A lack of honesty of things like the EU, a weird desire to repeat the Tory mistakes of moving to the right to beat Farage and Co, trying to have their cake and eat it with Trump and a fucking disastrous PR machine which seems to alienate almost everyone. By trying to please everyone by focus grouping the fuck out of everyone you just look like you’ve got no principles and take no one with you. It’s difficult not to despise Starmer at this point. If someone like me feels like that, what chance have they got? 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last couple of weeks I’ve seen them both sent out to support the supreme court’s decision on trans rights and they’ve both looked entirely unconvincing. There’s no room in the cabinet for anyone with any sort of moral backbone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth are they shocked? Are politicians even living on the same planet as the rest of us ffs. Rafael Behr made the point that there are voters similar to you i.e. progressives who have leaned Labour in the past who now feel that Labour doesn’t really offer them anything. Lots of these people held their noses and voted Labour last year because they were sick of the Tories dancing to Farage’s tune and were desperate to get them out. Now what they’ve ended up with is a Labour Party basically doing the same thing by slashing foreign aid, talking tough on immigration and offering zero support for trans rights. So come the next election what incentive is there for these voters to continue voting for Labour? They may as well vote with their heart because voting tactically has given them nothing. Starmer’s reaction to the results was saying he needs to accelerate change but no one has any idea what changes he’s talking about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
