Post Corbyn Labour- an utter betrayal

[Scrote]

Not this rubbish again. He lost, twice.

"Interestingly, in a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis, McSweeney claimed that one of the key problems the group might encounter was “a Labour government” – making explicit that his concern was not whether Corbyn could win, but that if he were to become prime minister it would prevent the renewal they were focused on."

The right of the party sabotaged the elections.

They eschewed a role in government for factional control of the party. And people like you were saying that the left didn't want to win power.

Seven years of Tory rule that was welcomed by the current Labour leadership.

Utterly reprehensible.

I might be reading this wrong but are you suggesting that Starmer had a more difficult task against Truss and Sunak (and a disintegrating Tory party) than Corbyn did against May (calling an election to strengthen her position given the then current polling) and Johnson (reducing the election to "Get Brexit Done" whilst the Labour-right were inventing an antisemitism crisis)?

No

To break the merry go round of the Elective Dictatorship model…(Harold McMillan)
Proportional Representation is the grownup answer. Nothing is perfect, but at least it’s more democratic. I chose the this example because it’s a Canadian view of the Danish using the list system and because I lived in Denmark for a time. Canada suffers first-past-the-post too.

Denmark's election - proportional representation works - Fair Vote Canada

Denmark's election with proportional representation shows that every voter really matters. Mette Frederiksen calls on parties to cooperate.

“With proportional representation, no single party has been handed all the power in Denmark since 1909. The last time Denmark had a government that lasted only two years was back in 1979.”
