You must be poisoning the purity of the sub. Good job.
The narrative had been the transatlantic resurgence of far right politics. Now that Britain and France have reversed that movement, hopefully the US will continue that trend.
From what I understand, Starmer’s labor isn’t exactly reversing it, anymore than Biden reversed the resurgence of far-right politics in the US or Blairite Labor did during the 2000s.
I disagree, both the left and the right have gained ground at the expense of the centre. Labour may have won a supermajority but they did so with fewer votes than in 2019 when they lost to the Conservatives.
The biggest reason they did so well this time around was because the Conservative vote was split by the far right Reform party. Reform won barely any seats but they had the third highest turnout of any party.

Can’t continue that trend when the only people on the ballot are right-wing senile pieces of shit
