Enjoyed reading this article; frustrated to read the conclusion. Discussing local elections and not Welsh or Scottish elections, where Labour are expected to tank, effectively saying these are inconsequential when they will result in the formation of national governments, is misguided. Labour are set to lose the Welsh government for the first time in 25 years, and lose an election in Wales for the first time in 100 years. Wales are moving to a totally proportional voting system, where, if your party had any sense - they would target and make gains in the Welsh Valleys. Instead they’re ignoring wales and leaving us to reform.
The left can’t win in Westminster on English seats alone, because England - as identified in the article - will vote reform or conservative consistently across the rural middle-upper class areas. We would do well if English political commentators recognised the risk of abandoning the working class communities in Wales and Scotland.
"Your Party" is definitely not my party. Like squabbling children, stroppy teenager at the Centre! More seriously, if they can't organise themselves there's not much hope of them organising anyone or anything else.
