@0f342e77@5b2d9d54 because the local parties still want their socialist Labour candidates and MPs… but the undemocratic Labour leadership doesn’t like that…
@5b2d9d54@0f342e77 I would say without genuinely socialist policies (which starmer promised during the leadership campaign), then more and more people are going to find that neoliberal economics don’t actually provide a good life and are going to turn towards the right…
Change is needed, change that reasonable left wing policies can provide.
@0f342e77 I'd be more comfortable calling him a fascist grifter, given that he meets the criteria of fascism (palingenetic ultranationalism is what Brexit was built on...), but honestly they'd bring back Boris if they could... heck they'd think bringing the corpse of maggie thatcher would be popular...
@0f342e77
1. Which "far left" policies of Corbyn did the public actually disagree with?
2. An election that gave the tories and other racist parties 47% of the vote, and 53% to the rejoin side hardly could be considered "resounding". Especially given...
3. The sustained media led attacks on Corbyn, would have made it hard for anyone to get elected.
4. The issue is not whether or not the party is left wing (despite that being Starmer's promise)
1/2
@0f342e77 The issue is that the labour party has found every excuse under the sun to purge anyone who's left of gordon brown from the party...
The only reason for the high polling for starmer is because he's #NotTories
(also Keir Starmer has done nothing to address the active antisemitism engaged in by the labour right, as part of their campaign to undermine Corbyn, despite claiming to have a zero tolerance for antisemitism)
