      The labor leader is the most centrist, bland, and ineffective dude I’ve ever seen. This is absolutely going to be wasted opportunity unless they non-confidence him out.

      Their platform doesn’t look awful but they need to make sure it actually happens.

      The tragedy of our age is that we’ve got alt right parties in countries across the globe gaining speed while “leftist” parties just continue to push neoliberalism that is crushing us working folks. In countries where real leftist parties have control (Spain is an excellent example) people’s lives are noticeably improving and their popularity is solid… in the rest of the world it’s basically this really shitty game of “Do we have enough power to keep the disappointing centrists in control or is this the election we go full fucking nazi.” America, Canada and France are dealing with this now - the UK will probably have to deal with it next cycle.
