its for Labour to lose rather than the Tories to win.
They managed last time – prior to Corbyns announcement that he would allow a second Brexit referendum, they had the last election waiting for them.
Figured he’d find a way! Now Starmer is saying positive things about Thatcher. Do these people never learn from the mistakes of others? Praising Thatcher is a sure-fire way to annoy the hell out of a lot of people in Labour strongholds. A post I saw on google said something about trying to appeal to traditionally conservative voters but he really needs to NOT lose the traditionally Labour voters in the process.
Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m well aware that Thatcher did do a LOT of good things when in office. I’m absolutely not a die-hard Labour supporter but I’m very much NOT in favour of the current government for a host of reasons specific to policies and actions. If I had to put myself in a “camp” I’d put myself as a left-leaning centrist. I absolutely believe it is our moral duty to take care of those UNABLE (not unwilling) to take care of themselves, but I also believe in the free market – if you’re willing (and able) to work harder then you absolutely should have more as a result.
