Bit gatekeepery there. I've always been a bit of a grubby lefty, and since being able to vote have done so against the Tories, for labour or green apart from that one time I voted lib dem based solely on uni fees, which went well. Where I live has always been very safe labour so I've mostly voted green, in the vague hope it'll show support for their more environmental and lefty policies, if I'd stayed down in Reading when of a voting age I'd have 100% voted labour. Whilst I was already for labour in general, Corbyn as leader got me genuinely excited about a labour that might be a bit more left leaning and principled not just pandering to big business and the press, I get the feeling that a lot of other people felt the same way at the time, however that has gone now, whether they are Corbyn supporters rather than labour I don't know, I'd say they're more potential labour supporters that found an in with a left leaning leader and are now dealing with someone different. I've gone back to bring pro labour as far as they're the most likely not Tories, I'm not excited by the prospect of Starmer but would vote for him if it mattered and green if it won't.
