As I say...
She doesn’t at all though.
If you took the time to listen to people you’d see a lot of people criticising Labour but still voting for them for a number of reasons.
Would they be polling so high if the so called Corbyn ‘acolytes’ weren't voting for them?
Just as thousands of traditional Labour voters didnt vote for corbyn, leading to the Johnson government, many of whom contribute to this part of the forum. It was entirely their right not to vote or vote elsewhere if they didn’t like what was in front of them.
Dunno why this is so difficult to understand tbh.
Don’t get why we have to have the same discussion in this thread every day.
It’s boring to be a part of and I imagine extremely boring to read.

It is fundamentally mad though. I mean you would assume a couple of things. Firstly that Labour would be more pliable than the Tories in office, so there would at least be a chance of enacting some of the things you care about. Secondly, there is every indication that this election could kick this incarnation of the Tories into the long grass for some time.
To pass up both of these simply because Starmer isn't Corbyn MkII seems incredibly immature.
….i’m not sure that represents ‘core Labour’. Core Labour is centre left, that’s where it wins elections.
I see no one on here meeting that description Bruce. No one.

Hi mate, keep your eyes peeled for a divisive fruit.
Anyway, back the broader point, I can't say I particularly agree with the lady in question. However, there does seem to be a growing dissatisfaction with Labour in the base. Agree with them or not, in electoral terms it could be a problem.
I'm sure we've discussed this sort of thing before, in frustration at the EU vote quite probably, but the gap between voting behaviour and reason can be a chasm lol.
No, still not sure. Could you give me another clue please?
In certain constituencies the groups she mentioned (granted she's probably not their voice) would be core voters.

I'm sure I've seen a few Labour voters who post on here taking the anything but Starmer line?
No mate. No idea. You might need to tag them in.
