As you say though, there's a chance they won't move further left. I'd still take it 100 times out of 100 over more of the current shower of cunts.
Here in Oz, before the last election when it was obvious the conservatives would get the boot, we were telling each other how the Labor leader grew up in a housing commission joint with a single mum, and obviously we'd emerge into the sunlit uplands.
Turns out the sleazy fuck is leading the most blatantly sold-out bunch of right wing corporate lapdogs to ever call themselves a Labor government.
Which he can totally get away with after following our worst PM ever... So yeah. Have fun with that Starmer feller, who isn't even bothering to seem slightly leftish. Maybe don't let your hopes get too high...

The educational background of the cabinet and shadow cabinet in the UK is virtually identical. Most went to Oxbridge. Rayner must be the only one who didn't go to university currently.

Agreed but a couple of headlines from the Daily Mail or Express on how dangerous the left is and a lot of those thinking of punishing the tories will jump back again. It feels like there's a period of delivery needed from the left. Governing sensibly, no dramas, peoples lives starting to improve. With that underway, you earn the right to move into more radical policies.
