You may be right which is sad...I hope the UK doesn't go down this route, I was relieved after multiple clowns that we have a boring, typical politician, not that I don't have criticisms of Starmer but I don't give a single fuck about his charisma as long as he gets the job done, a boring politician is better than an idiotic clown.
My criticisms of Starmer is that he's trying too hard to appeal to the right and by next election his gained voters are just going to swap back to Tories (or Reform). There's no room on the right, he should realise he won largely in part due to this being a protest vote against Tories (14 years) of rule, Labour isn't going to get the same length of time to fix things as Tories received to screw things up.
There's already Tories and Reform for the right. SNP for the Scots. Labour needs to focus on shoring up the left base, which doesn't necessarily alienate centrists, you just need strong policies which can be clearly communicated as beneficial to the voter. The UK doesn't piss its pants at the sight of any shred of left-wing economic policies.
Someone mentioned UK's Parliament being made up better than America's but honestly I hate FPTP and would have much preferred Proportional Representation because it would have forced Labour into a coalition with Lib Dems and Greens. It would come with the downside of Reform gaining more seats but they'd be nowhere near a majority still. As it stands, UK may have multiple parties but for the most part, everyone will just vote Tories/Labour anyway in effect making it a two party system, Lmao. SNP has collapsed and Lib Dems were irrelevant for years. New parties have to get a horrific amount of votes before they ever get any seats. By next election there's a strong chance everyone surrenders their protest voting and just goes back to Tories/Labour but I'm rooting for Lib Dems gaining even more seats.
