Since its inception, Labour Party has wrestled between left and right factions. Corbyn shifted it leftward and now Starmer has been redefining its stance. What does Labour stand for under him? If elected PM, what direction will Starmer take?

@@Canadian_Princess I mean you're clearly biased, judging from your pfp, so I don't blame you. But among all the right-wing parties in the world, the Tories are the only ones to have literally an LGBT group. The Consevatives definitely didn't lost consensus because "they're bad transphobes :(" but for all the other shit they've done. They've lost the more right-wing voters, not the more moderates, who are just old motherfuckers that only want their pensions to be paid. I'm cautiously convinced that if Tories actually stopped immigration, achieving the net-zero, and were a bit more actually conservative on the social side, they would be at least at 30%, as they wouldn't have lost votes who are now more inclined to Reform Britain. And btw banning testosterone injections to minors is definitely not transphobic, I would dare to say it's actually common sense.

Two things in general: [1] how come they never ask where the money is gonna come from when it comes to military and defence contracting companies? The UK has its own sovereign currency and is a currency issuer, not a currency user (eg businesses, local govts, people). The only restraint is actual resources it has (manpower, capital, natural resources) which, if managed correctly, can prevent inflation. Japan has 250% debt to gdp ratio and until recently has suffered deflation (recent inflation from supply shocks, but is resuming stable to deflation). [2] political parties should have a core platform that cannot be changed so that voters know what it stands for in principle. For example, classic labour, due to the unaffordability of housing, would probably implement and NHS for housing. No monthly payments, no rates, just like healthcare-based on need. If a party member or even a majority of them disagree with the core principle, they are free to create a new party to fairly compete with their former party at the polls.

Labour in its current form is essentially Tory lite in most policy areas. I would vote for them, but only because I believe they are more likely to give renters a better deal and at least take some steps toward addressing the wider housing crisis. That is my top priority, it’s clear it shouldn’t be in the hands of the party with a backbench full of landlords, who are financially invested in keeping housing prices high and ensuring the UK continues to have some of the weakest renter’s laws in Europe.

The UK media is almost entirely owned by oligarchs who use that power to shape political discourse. Anything that would cost them money is "far left extremism." It's also shaped how people talk about Corbyn - the media largely depicted him as a hopelessly naive idealist or a lunatic even after Labour made significant gains under him in 2017. I certainly don't agree with all of Corbyn's decisions or policies - he's something of a useful idiot when it comes to Ukraine, for example - but comparing how they talked about Corbyn to how they talk about far-right cartoon villain Suella Braverman is enough to give you whiplash. Corbyn was a radical fringe lunatic for wanting to raise taxes and spend more on public services, but Braverman's efforts to rid the UK of asylum seekers and make protesting the war in Gaza illegal just means that she represents the right wing of the Tory party, and plenty of papers applaud her for it. It's absurd.

Okay, so a major issue with the information just given here is that it ignores the difference between expenses and investments. No rich person counts their £28 billion worth of new stocks as an EXPENSE. It is not money that is being "spent" in the same way that you spend money on a holiday or a car. Until journalists stop treating every single type of government spending as the same we will never have good politics in this country because the average person will be misled into thinking that £28 billion invested in the economy is the same as a £28 billion tax cut to be funded by borrowing. These things are worlds apart. Please do better and make this clearer in your reporting.

Starmer doesn't seem to stand for very much, but history says anything you stand for, in politics, seems to be the thing that kills you. The greatest asset (it seems), is to be uncommitted and smart and know when to keep your big mouth shut. That probably says something really depressing about human psychology.

America has a giant debt ratio yet it’s the biggest economy in the world, furthermore just after WW2 our debt was 4 times the size of our gdp level and it led to the highest growth in our countries history (our debt level is only 2x our gdp right now) so clearly debt isn’t as big of a deal as right wing economists make it seem Also debt usually isn’t a bad thing anyway if you tell people what you’re going to do with that money (if we’re using the business analogy) telling your investors that you’re taking out debt to expand the business which will make them returns in the long run is a lot more sensible than taking out random debts, this is why liz truss’s mini budget crashed the economy as she didn’t explain how 40Bn of tax cuts would grow the economy but labours previous 28Bn investment plan would be sensible as we knew where the money was going and how it would grow the economy.

Even their most seemingly left wing policies, like a national sovereign wealth fund, are just public private partnerships by a different name.

This sounds good, but all it really means is that the profits of a supposedly public endeavour get privatised, and any losses are born by the tax payer.

We are months away from the general election, and what do they stand for? More austerity. In 1997 Blair offered some hope, but Starmer doesn't. Wes Streeting shadow health Secretary said no hope is better than any. Labour are only likely to win the election as the Tories are in meltdown. Voters dont really like either party.Also, should this atrocity in Gaza still be going on, Labour wouldn't seek to call out Israel for war crimes.

My tuppen’orth was to cancel my Labour membership when the Starmer/Reeves sit-on-fence duo cancelled their £28 billion commitment to greening the economy! I was, and still am, flaming mad. Those two fence sitters have got to come out fighting for more UK investment in UK infrastructure and training, both of which would be included in the green economy. I’m also angry at Starmer’s sit-on-fence approach to Gaza. Yes, a total ceasefire is impractical at present but the wholesale genocide going on is totally unacceptable, too. Netanyahu’s government is extreme right wing religious fanatics who should be called out for the evil that they are and Labour should oppose our arms sales to Israel. There’s too many uncommitted voters in poling so far and I don’t think these pathetic Tory-following policies will tempt the Red/Blue wall back to Labour.

Regardless of their economic policies, the one undeniable advantage of a Labour government is that they'll not waste time with all the stupid culture wars that the Tories love so much these days. While I'd love Labour to have more ambitious policies, the simple fact that they'll not be actively stoking division and bigotry makes them easily the better option.
@KILKennyLaDa9898-js2nr
@KILKennyLaDa9898-js2nr 2 месяца назад
Labour started culture wars fully FORTY YEARS AGO after socialism collapsed in 1979, a busted flush and their new narrative was to label their Tory opponents as fascists and Nazis, as racists playing the race card, indulging in dog whistle politics. These were vile, lurid slurs from an empty, broken political party. The word ''socialism'' was unmentionable, electoral poison. A dialogue of desperation. Then twenty years ago, Labour took up all this eco narrative, green hysteria to frighten everyone.

How is being honest a hit piece? They've made loads of videos recently about how badly the tories are doing. Two things can be true at once. Politics are in a bad place right now, partly because people engage in this polarised black and white mentality. I'd still vote Labour, but only because they're the better choice out of those who can win. If the system let the Greens have a chance to win, I'd be voting for them, because they are closer to my political positions.

@@TheGerkuman It's dishonest. TLDR even hid a comment of mine where I made this point. They omitted all actual policies and areas in which they differ, and there are loads. Examples: water regulation, asylum, NHS, etc. they even included a lie that Starmer supports the national insurance changes and he doesn't. He called it an unfunded tax cut that's worse than Truss.

We're in a situation not unlike 1945. We need bigger spending. People can survive if the country has debt. People can't survive if they have no environment, healthcare, or jobs. Labour are pitching to the British people that we will have eternal austerity, which means poor people will continue to suffer. Labour under Starmer is for the few, not the many.

The main issue with Labour promising anything on the economy rn is that their inheriting a complete mess from the Conservatives, which means once their in power, achieving their more ambitious aims might prove impossible and unpopular. Its not a great look if your spending billions on a long term plan to make the energy sector green when millions of your citizens are regularly going to food banks.

completely agree. it’s easy to get idealistic about what we want to see in this country but we’re in the midst of a deep recession, how are we supposed to sustainably reform the public sector when we’ve inherited the tories’ wrecked economy. i do wish though that labour would at least try and communicate this long term vision to give voters some confidence and “a song to sing to the voting booth”

It's not about promising gimmicks. It's about turning the economy around: not treating a country's economy like a household economy, recognizing that economic stimulus has been successful and austerity hasn't, and, importantly, it's about not talking out of both sides of one's mouth. And he's been dreadful.
@alanlittle4589
@alanlittle4589 2 месяца назад
It's not an either/or situation. We are an incredibly rich country, very bad wealth distribution, but we can and should do both - and the green prosperity plan went some way to doing just that, with a boost to the sector creating more jobs. Government spending like this is termed as an investment as it boosts economic activity and ends up paying for itself - literally growing the economy that they keep saying they're going to do. 14 years of austerity spending cuts have utterly failed, so spending billions is exactly what we need - and we need to fund it by taxing the billionaires and multi millionaires wealth and the oil giants and Amazon etc etc.
