The last Ipsos opinion poll for the general election puts Labour and the Tories on an combined 56% of the vote, which is an all-time low. Does this mean their power duopoly is finally breaking down?
What bothers me the most is that in both the US and UK there seem to be "leading left voices" scattered about everywhere; and yet none of them seem even interested in building or promoting the new left parties that are needed.
I (or anyone else) can shout myself blue in the face day and night on every social-media network, etc., but it'll never be heard; that's just how it is.
Those folks are heard, on even the dumbest things, yet they're not even trying to do this.
"Someone else" is not coming to do this for anyone.
