I like him in general, but Starmer’s purge was a good example of why there’s no playing nice with liberal electoralism. If you’re going to assume power you have to assert it. He should have gotten ahead of the neoliberal wing and been more bold. Like Bernie Sanders who is a pale imitation of Corbyn, liberals don’t respect a nice guy because they aren’t nice. No amount of capitulating to them will buy you a seat at the table because they don’t think you’re a full human who deserves your basic needs being met.

It’s also nice that he ran and won this year independently. There’s at least the second chance to provide a left counterweight that could become a bloc as Starmer does Blair 2.0.

I know that he owns a copy of Xi Jinping’s “The Governance of China” in his personal library, so he’s more likely then not genuinely based.

Okay-ish. He was at our party’s festival last year and he will be there this year. For a western politician he is okay. I don’t think he is actually a marxist.

Yeah I think he is a socdem. But he might be able to change his views of course. He comes to our festivals after all and he is very enthousiastic about it.
