Keir Starmer may be likely to win the general election but he's transformed the Labour party into a pro-boss party through lies and U-turns.

    So the writer means Starmer pulled it from a fringe left unelectable mess of in-fighting (in a first-past-the-post system and Murdoch dominated press) to a left-of-centre party that’s trying to win over as many voters as possible to get a overwhelming majority in parliament.

    I don’t like how centrist the current form of the labour party is, but at least there’s a chance of them listening to us once in power.

        Well that’s it. Once they get into power keep applying the pressure.

        That’s what the StopTheTories.vote group are planning to do with their agenda to get a form of proportional representation to replace FPTP once the Tories are out.

        The only other option is armed revolution and good luck rolling the dice on that in this country given how it’s gone previously (gestures to all of UK rebellion history) I’ll be out of the country for that one.

                Options one has to discover for oneself. Keep asking that question, one day the answer may become clear.

                I thought we were having a discussion about the current UK electoral politics.

                I’d very much like to hear what you think the other valid options the UK general public has to make an impact at this election.
