Still, emphasis on the word almost. The key here is to swap out Labour candidates, not lose to reform next election.
No. You don't get to say this is ok because it's Labour. This is authoritarian power grabs. Nobody voted for this because this was never shared with the public.
Labour, Tories and Reform all need to be cast into the wilderness for decades over what's going on right now.
The last dude in this thread to say basically the same thing at least had to balls to name other options and all they could come up with was the Anti-NATO party for one and the party which is literally just Corbynn and his buddy Sultana (1 seat) for the other.
Tell that to Andy Burnham.
We're not a purely two party state, like America, that requires changing the Democrats from within.
Labour is a captured organisation. The PLP is filled with authoritarians and Friends of Israel. And the PLP has the majority of power within the party. The effort required to change it from within would be better spent in the already established Green party and establishing Your Party.
The left can abandon Labour, as it abandoned the left in the 90s.
The UK Green Party of England and Wales? Currently they have 4 commons and 2 lords. They at least had the sensibility to ask Jill Stein to stand down, but they also endorse leaving NATO which is really fucking stupid.
Your Party 2025 is just a joke honestly, I'm surprised they got more seats than Lord Buckethead.
Ah well, might as well just lie down and give up then I guess.
