Labour’s campaign was extremely cautious, and given past defeats I understand why. But now the UK center-left has a huge majority in a system with many fewer choke points than in the U.S. Let’s hope they’re ready to govern like the dominant party they now are

They aren’t left wing. They’re centrist libs. With so many seats a lot of them will be traditional Tory seats and the labour members in them will be scared of their own shadows for the next election. Starmer wants an excuse to sit on his hands and do as little as possible.
