      It wasn’t just that, though. While I liked Corbyn, his ideological leaning meant that he would be incredibly easy to trip up on practically anything, from Brexit to the royals to the IRA.

        What does that even mean?

        He wasn’t deserving of support because he had an opposition?

        Now he’s out and there’s a centrist happy to be a Tory.

        How is that working out? Free of trip ups?

          What the fuck are you on about?

          I don’t particularly like Starmer, but he’s likely going to be the last Labour leader since the last faux-Tory, and likely going to win the largest majority for decades.

          It’s going to work out really well for him, and that’s likely because the UK is far more right-leaning than we’d like to admit. Still, we’re absolutely nowhere near the US…

          I’m surprised that this is even in question. Even Reddit gets this…
