I always remember that when given a choice between Boris and Corbyn the country manifestly chose Boris.
Burnham can’t win in the UK. He just can’t. Sorry.
There’s enough difference between Starmer and Farage for me. If you want to pitch a different party to the public go do so. That’s what Farage has done to the conservatives so it can be done. Stop trying to take Labour down from within.
To a large proportion of the country he is. Maybe with a Manc accent with makes him look slightly less professional.
I’m really sorry. The country as a whole does not vote decidedly left leaning people in.
The preference is Competent Centre Right > Competent Centre Left > Far Right > Far Left in that order.
Burnham vs Farage. Farage wins. Starmer vs Farage. Starmer wins. Pick your poison.
The real threat to Labour is the Conservative Party getting its shit together. And reputation washing Farage into a Competent Centre Right leader.
