[QUOTE="How bad boy, post: 7055010, member: 3028"] I've voted Lib Dem in every election since I moved to the UK almost 20 years ago. I voted Labour in the recent local elections, precisely because I like Starmer and what he stands for. In fact, for <reasons>, my postal ballot was ruined. So I went to the trouble of sorting out a replacement, just so I could vote Labour. I spent a very long time thinking about whether or not I would vote for Corbyn's Labour party in the last election and couldn't bring myself to do so. There are a lot of people that are in a politically similar position. Basically, there's a massive political centre ground between the left of the Labour party and the ERG types in the Tory party. The name of the game is to get moderate tories, lib dems and undecided voters to come to labour. Corbyn was shit at doing that. By being completely inoffensive, in the face of Johnson's pile of dead cats, Starmer actually looks pretty attractive to that centrist vote. The next Tory leader will have a pile of dead cats to deal with too. I'm not saying Starmer is an amazing leader, he really doesn't inspire much, I have no idea what he stands for, nor what his policies are. But he's clearly a decent human being and an actual grown up. It's hard to understate how attractive that is in the current shitshow for those in the middle. I do actually agree Andy Burnham would probably be a better leader. Rayner probably not, she's quite divisive. [/QUOTE]
