Unfortunately, the party that will replace them is predominantly Islamophobic, institutionally transphobic, and wedded to neo-liberal austerity economics, so any happiness will be fleeting.
Truth:
“essentially an enormous part of the reason that online leftist spaces suck so much is that they are filled with people who believe it is more important to do nothing wrong than it is to do something right”
Hey Torr, I have Palestinian friends and trans friends who are genuinely impacted by Sir Keir’s policies, so I point out the fact that the change of government will not help such people. Sorry for pissing in your chips.
This is basically what centrism is deep down, a childish desire to believe the world is simple and scold the people who maybe don't believe the austere, transphobic, racist party replacing the other austere, transphobic, racist party is unambiguously good.
No bigger winner in life than the guy who messages people to tell them they're blocking or muting them before doing it, so we'll done for being so cool.
Oh not at all. The Tories have been hurtling to the Right so hard that it is still far better. But if you fell into a well about 40 years ago and were just now crawling out… kinda?

The "theory' is based on the evidence of your choice to refuse to engage with the huge problems in Sir Kid Starver's faux-Labour & your desperation to avoid justifying said decision, but, sure, it's "not about you" as you continue to make it all about you & your pearl-clutching at being questioned.
I mean, I lived under Blair/Brown that was the biggest wealth distribution, largest funder of the NHS, reduced child poverty.
And then moved to Denmark. But go off
“65%:
The approximate share of Brits who say that, in hindsight, leaving the European Union was wrong.
Just 15% say the benefits have so far outweighed the costs.”
