I can't see any movement on the old one since February and it was over the 700 post limit anyway so here is a new one :-)

A link to the old one is here but I don't think it will open unless some kind mod can work some magic?

Anyroads, Dick Miles asked the question elsewhere and I think it is worth discussing more opemly. It was whether a left wing party, mooted by Zarah Sultana and involving Jeremy Corbyn wouls split the left wing vote.

I do not think that the party will take off but, if it did, I am not sure how it would affect things. There is no political left wing in government at the moment but there are a number of movements that are further left than the current Labout party. I think that the best we can hope for is that the more socially concious factions will get together and hold a balance of power in a parliament hung between Tories (Conservative) amd Tory light (Labour)

A substantialy more right wing movement (Reform) have gained momentum because the electorate are pissed off with the main parties so, just maybe, a substantially more left wing movement may gain similar traction. Of course the MSM will do their best to nip it in the bud (Telegraph have already started!) but I think that their hold over opinion is starting to slip. Well, I hope so anyway :-)

Over to you...

There's a trick so they can be seen but have to stay closed so they don't get added to and disappear again. ---mudelf
