Comment on Keir Starmer announces plan for supervised toothbrushing in schools
danielquinn@lemmy.ca 8 months agoCorbyn has joined the South African continent in defending Palestinian civilians against genocide. Starmer won’t even condemn Tory prosecution of Just Stop Oil protesters.
People on the Left reward conviction and principles. We show up and fight for leaders who inspire us toward a better future. Maybe Starmer can still win without our support, but what indeed will any of us “win” if he does?

Not having the tories. it’s a lot harder for them to get rid of labour again once they’re already in and a lot easier for them to get more leftist policies in

That’s a lot of faith to place in a leader and party who have shown zero evidence of principle or conviction.

Well what’s the alternative? You require more faith to think green will get in, lib dems are tory lite and voting for the tories would just be stupid.

Of course not. No, you vote for parties who want the same things you do, to remind Labour that your vote isn’t a forgone conclusion. So long as they can count on your vote by simply being “not Tory” that’s all you’ll ever get.
