1 yearAs a non-brit, I really don’t understand. I thought Labour was supposed to be slight left. Why are they running a Donald Trump Lite government? Cutting aid, cutting services, scapegoating refugees, weird AI moonshoots… Didn’t people reject these policies from the Conservatives when they elected Labour? Why didn’t the Brits just keep the Conservatives if all this is going to happen anyway?

Here’s a documentary on their purge of the left for anyone interested:

Labour, Democrats, Liberals (Canada), Labour (Australia) etc. They are all parties of the neoliberal elite. They may fly rainbow flags and occasionally add small welfare, but they ultimately answer to corporate doners.

At this point, I reckon they’re about where the pre-Thatcher Conservatives were. The actual Conservatives are now further right than they used to be too but don’t seem to realise it, and every time they try to design policies they end up confused that what they’ve come up with looks like fascism (to everyone else if not also to them).
If I had the wherewithal, I’d start up a Socialist party, because it’s clear now that parties only ever shift right and there’s a gap at the left end of the spectrum.
