George Monbiot suggests that Labour shouldn’t be supported because they’re now pushing right-wing policies, in his view.
So he thinks people should tactically support progressive parties who support electoral reform (Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru), which may hopefully then lead to electoral reform, so that we end up with proportional representation. Then Brits will have more choices than effectively just two parties for future elections.
Thoughts?
This is how you will end up with Trump. You need to abandon the Labour ship as fast as possible.
trump in our case would be farage probably. i think the uk has a greater chance of that not happening due to the wider choice of alternatives, plaid cymru in wales and the snp in scotland may well save the english who are quite tory by nature, but the split there with harder right going with reform and softer right going to the lib dems (as likely caused labour’s broad and shallow support last time) might work again
