I get what you are saying Bumface, but is there a possibility that this methodology is putting/keeping the Tories in power?
Tories have proven time and time again that they will vote for any rotting corpse that the Tory party puts in front of them, whereas Labour supporters are more likely not to vote for a Labour party candidate if they aren't the exact flavour of Labour candidate they want.
I am sure this results in the Tories not actually having to beat the labour party as a whole, but they only have to beat a fragmented vote where only 50% of Labour followers actually vote.
Genuinely not having a dig, just interested in your take. As a Labour supporter, do you think a Boris led Tory government is a better deal that a Starmer led Labour party government?
