As I wrote in my last piece about this, I believe the Party is absolutely right to be emphasising justice issues (taxation, wealth, human rights, militarism, cost of living, public services etc), even as I’ve simultaneously argued that it’s self-defeating to have relegated climate, nature and pollution issues (the biophysical sustainability side of the coin) to a secondary role.
So, keeping it simple, how will broadly progressive voters in the UK (still the majority) ensure that our archaic, first-past-the-post electoral system doesn’t end up giving that right-wing front as big a majority as Starmer managed to win in 2024 – even though he persuaded half a million fewer people to vote for him than his apparently unelectable predecessor Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 election!
