no left wing party would have a chance in hell of winning an election. None.
I know mentioning 2017 is controversial to some people, but Labour got closer than a zero chance in hell of winning the 2017 GE, despite the torrent of smears and infighting.
This idea that all left of centre policy is toxic is received wisdom at best.

The big problem is that socialism is regarded as dangerous dog shit by a large chunk of the electorate. It's Marxist this, socialist that. You'll all run out of money if the hard left take over! They'll take your houses! You'll be taxed to the eyeballs! You'll lose your rights!
I'd vote for a truly left party in a heartbeat but also know that no left wing party would have a chance in hell of winning an election. None.
Not right now anyway. Maybe the election after next.
