Where next for Labour?
I was heartbroken by the 2019 General Election result. I really believed in Labour’s message and manifesto and I believed Labour had a credible solution to the climate crisis and to Brexit. I thought people would see Boris for the charlatan that he is and that he led a poor and misjudged campaign. I thought people wanted change. I was wrong. But what happened and what do we (the left) do next? As I watched Election debates, I was bored senseless with Boris’ “Get Brexit Done” response to almost every issue. “We can deal with this once Brexit is finished” or “We can’t do this until Brexit is done” whilst Labour actually addressed issues directly. as the results came in though, it appears this strategy worked. I felt heartbroken and depressed. Once a few days passed I looked at the election results, and I saw that in percentages the left vastly outnumbered the Tory vote, yet a majority had been won. Then is dawned on me. Not only is the first past the post system outdated,
