MP insists ‘show is back on the road’ and compares relationship to that of Liam and Noel Gallagher

Zarah sounds similar to Zack Polanski, the Greens leader, with her messaging:

“The truth is, Reform is just another wing of the political establishment,” she said. “Funded by billionaires and aristocrats, fronted by a millionaire stockbroker, an ex-public school boy, Nigel Farage. He is peddling racism to distract us from the real agenda: more privatisation, more deregulation, more handouts for the rich, more cuts for everyone else.”

    Yeah it kind of sucks how efficient right wingers are at rallying behind a single shitty leader. In a FPTP system, it’s the downfall of every other party

      To be fair we have seen quite a bit of infighting among right-wingers in the last few years though… first the Tories tore themselves apart over Brexit, then they replaced Cameron with Theresa May, more infighting ensued, then we had Boris, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and now Kemi Badenoch, and some Tories are saying Kemi won’t last long - Jenrick clearly wants to replace her. Then there’s Reform, and two of their MPs have now left the party - Rupert Lowe has started his own thing called Restore Britain.

      Anyway, I don’t know what to expect from Your Party but I would be interested to see what policies they propose.

      More worrying. Is the ability of the media to convince Left voters, our parties not doing the same. Is a fault in the left.

      Note how to force right wing views. The Labour Party leadership needed to reduce democracy within the party. That same idealism is how the right wing parties start out. And why you will see so much questioning of the value of democracy in our parties set up.

      It is also why massive multi party unification is the only way the left with defeat the right under FPTP. Also the only way to get rid of FPTP.

      By massive unification, I propose all left parties agreeing to not compete against the strongest left competitor in each seat. Then supporting a confidence and supply agreement with the biggest post election party. This way we can force a PR replacement for the next election, and run a democratic left of centre government while in power.
