It's way to big of a debate (and not for this topic) so let's agree to disagree. I'll give you that I made a sweeping generalisation, but it is my observation that the left leaning idealists usually ease off on the equality and class struggle once they get older.

You'd think a decent majority for either party would make it a lot easier. A hung parliament again would be pretty disastrous. It's partly why I think a second ref would be a safer bet, plus I think GE should be about more than one issue. My constituency Horsham voted remain but is a big Tory seat. Lib Dems usually come a distant 2nd but actually got beaten by Labour in 2017 iirc but I'm pretty sure the Corbyn novelty factor has well and truly died off so Lib Dems will be the best option.

Just to get a majority in parliament to get legislation through a lot easier, even if they have some rebel MPs. Also if they have run on a certain policy over Brexit then they should have a clear mandate to put it in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
