Comment on Jeremy Corbyn confirms new ‘socialist alternative’ before next election to fight Starmer

I think this will fizzle out and go nowhere but: should this split the red vote who stands to gain? Tories (they’ve a long way to go to win back trust ), Lib Dems (something about Student Loans making them the only party in living history to have reneged on a manifesto promise), SNP (possibly in Scotland they could be back), Greens (they’re too right wing for Corbyn’s followers 😆)… That leaves: Reform. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
I actually think a hung parliament under those circumstances. Great for confidence in the country.

I mean I love your confidence 😜, but parties like Labour and the Tories are too broad a churches to make that sweeping generalisation.

Labour plp and the leadership. Who is at the end of it who you vote for.
Is not in any way left wing anymore. The shit their doing is more blue then red.
The members may be broad. But the party no longer pay any attention to them.

Tories: Leader dependent. Austerity fatigue. Watered down reform. In a fundraising rut.
Lib Dems: Memeable but no-one actually knows what they are about.
SNP: Losing ground to Starmer’s Labour anyway.
Greens: Still the impression of a single-issue party. A few bizarre policies too.
Reform: Have the man, have the PR machine, have the whipping-boy. Weakness in candidate vetting may limit seats contested.

The Greens also have a terrible name, they’re a left wing party that don’t particularly care about environmental issues. Meanwhile the Lib Dems just stand for whatever the government doesn’t, which changes depending on who’s in power.
