Labour party doesn’t work for the labor class

@RobinHarris-nf4yv 12 күн бұрын

Labour certainly didn’t work for the working class under Jeremy Corbyn, it was a party for middle class post graduates on a professional wages who spent their time whining about Palestine and not giving a flying fork about people struggling to make rent or pay for food.

The ruling 1% are already in charge, have been for the longest time. How much is UK's Labor party truly represents the people/working class or serve the wealthy ruling elites and "Labor" is just window dressing name is the question. How many in this UK's Labor party consist of Socialists, Progressives, Unions, Greens and activists? How many are there just there to serve the super rich and corporate interests.

Labour should have Starmer step down and bring back Jeremy Corbyn to be Prime Minister. As leader, Corbyn got 12,887,918 votes in 2017, and 10,269,051, in 2019. Starmer only got 9,686,329 in 2024. In the 2024 election, in his constituency, Starmer got 18,884 votes. In 2019, he had 36,641. He had half as many votes this time. Turnout in his constituency was 56,000 in 2019. It was only 38,000 this election. Corbyn beat the Labour candidate in his constituency this election, as an independent, and had 24, 120 votes, over 5000 more than Starmer.

The other factor was Tactical Voting, where Labor supporters voted for other parties, primarily the LIb Dems, if they had better chances than Labor to unseat/defeat the Tory candidate. In turn, many Lib Dem and smaller party voters switched to Labor in close run seats to again unseat the Tories. All that said, Labor are the most supportive of election reform and proportional representation. The Tories are likely come on side with proportionality soon, unless they think they can win the Parliament with 34% of the vote themselves.

A country with your size of population are given the choice between President Biden and Donald Trump ? That is no choice at all. This is why the turn out is so low in the USA and UK..

I'm afraid the royal family got themselves the half way house, centrist, they were looking for but it was paramount for them to hide the evidence of their own misdeeds. We are currently living under a policed state at the moment, where two firms have been brought in to block certain peoples exit out of country. I live in a little village in west Devon, called Drewsteignton, in the last six weeks we have had visits from both Richi Sunak and Kier Starmer (very strange when you were in the middle of an election?). We are continually beset and over run with University students, who are flying drones day and night (in star formation) and have had massive influx of cars very often sporting licence plates with either the letters K, J and Z in them. There are so many of these letters on the licence plates, as it has been so often as not to be noticeable. If you could get satellite footage of Drewsteignton (near Exeter), then you would see that this not the ramblings of a madman or troll. My dog and I need passage out of Britain and a chance of a new life in America. Can anyone help us, I'm being sincere? Sorry for my poor writing but after four years of this psychological abuse I'm more than a little stressed.

Those who talk about the Left in the UK followwing the general election might be in denial that the country (i.e., the bulk of the electorate) has acttually moved slightly to the right. As a party, Labour moved from centre-left to centre and, in terms of its foreign and security policies, is actually centre-right. Four of the six independents who won did so on a largely sectarian -- Muslim -- vote. It can be said that they are rather socially conservative. (A fifth independent, Corbyn. is of course a true left-winger but he won largely because islington North had become synonymous with him for over four decades) The Lib Dems mainly benefited from Reform UK siphining votes from the Tories in the blue wall. And, in Scotland, the SNP suffered grievious losses mainly because of its transgender rights policies. Apart from the Greens (its four seats), there is really hardly much to talk about the UK left.

Unfortunately the UK exported its transphobia politics to the US. Was going on here first. In 2013 the UK newsmedia hounded a trans woman to suicide for daring to come out as trans whilst being a teacher. But you can find a lot of transphobic news articles in the many years before this. The US jumped on the transphobia train when your gay marriage laws passed and the right needed something else to attack. The uk already had this anti trans hate politics going ready to adopt. Even most Brits don’t realise this and they think we adopted it from America about two years ago but all you have to do is google it and the evidence is there. The BBC has a hateful gender critical news article on their website dated back to 2007. It’s been going on for years and years.

The Labour and Conservative parties are the two biggest establishment parties in the UK. What this election has shown most clearly is that voters are deserting them both as never before. At least there are alternative parties in the UK; it's not a two-party stitch-up like in the USA.

Im really proud of Owen, he used to be a little lefty mouth piece just shilling for what ever grotesque leader got power, in the past 20 years hes grown into a real independent thinker and a grass roots hero of the true left in the north west, im happy to agree with a lot of what he says now as it would seem hes giving it real analytical thought instead of just reading liberal talking points from cue cards.
