I’m not convinced that Labour will win. The UK has always been a one-party state with a few occasions of Labour being allowed to manage with virtually identical policies to the official state party. The economy is too unstable at the moment for the big corporations and dominant wealthy to allow Labour to govern. Starmer still hasn’t done enough to satisfy his masters.
Who do you think stand a better chance? The Tories are currently imploding, there is no clear vision for the party and the different factions and backstabbing and wrestling for control. Sunak is weak, a caretaker PM with no authority or presence. They are tired, with nothing and nobody to rally around, and even the big corporations can see the writing on the wall.
Unfortunately a vote for Labour is essentially a vote for a different flavour of right-wing austerity politics. Sir Keir is doing his best to prove he’s an establishment toady but it’s not good enough. Big corporations will rally to the Tories in the run-up to the election. The British economy is in such a precarious state that that they can’t risk anything other than close family running things.
I don’t think that it matters who is in government now. We have a one-party state with two flavours.
I’d prefer to see the big parties broken up.
