  • ^ an accusation you could level at those at the centre as much as the left of the party.

  • Yes, very true. Corbyn's team have given some valuable emphasis to more 'socialist' policies, and that helpfully coincides with an apparent movement in public opinion. To try to revive a 'centrist' party would be a mistake as it would fail to acknowledge those evolving circumstances.

  • Many people do keep saying this (a shift in public opinion) but I'm not sure it's true. I think that view is why the electorate are cleaving into divides - because those on the left think that people have shifted to the left, but yet there don't seem to be enough people doing so to actually make a majority.

    People like me (and a great number of people I know) haven't shifted more to the left. We've just become more polarised and those on the left (and right) are each shouting louder...
