Both red and blue halves of the centre-right, neoliberal economically, front-facing and rhetorically socially liberal (Idpol) status-quo duopoly are no longer able or even willing to deliver even the milquetoast, Soc Dem, reforms drastically needed in both economic and social spheres, which are falling apart around them. Liberalism has always throughout history been the Midwives for fascism, because they’d rather embrace a right-wing, “populist”, agenda than even consider a leftist option. Only left-wing populism can push back against right-wing fraudulent populism, because they both promise similar benefits to working class voters however it’s only ever been the left which delivers on those issues.

So many people seem to be under the impression that the Labour Party are for workers’ rights, the NHS, etc., when in fact they are much like the conservatives, but are just beholden to a different bunch of oligarchs. The UK’s problem is it cannot get rid of either because it does not have preferential voting.

Know what I think, I reckon the left wing maniacs: Starmer, Macron, Scholz, Harris/Biden/Obama, etc., have taken millions in cash to fight Russia ‘til their army is done so that China can steamroll in from their border and just take over.
