The article writer has a good summary:
There are three types of campaign you can run during an election: ‘it’s time for a change’ (normally an opposition message, but a governing party can also campaign like this, as Boris Johnson did in 2019); ‘give us time to finish the job’ (the standard incumbent’s message); or (the last resort option) ‘you might not like us, but at least we’re not as bad as the other lot’.
All this albatross can tell is, if he’s saying that, there’s an election a coming.
If only there really was a party offering to undo every law the conservative and coalition governments have passed and return us to a time before they existed.
That party would be the best party.
Sadly that isn’t on offer and even Labour intend to keep this mess of a country mostly without any reverting of changes at all.
The Labour party is currently trying not to give the Tories any ammunition to use against them in an election campaign. That’s why they seem to be aligning themselves with the current Conservative talking points. Come a successful general election they will back away from the Tory position and make some changes. I fucking hope.
@Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 🤞
Yes, indeed, very much so.
Every law? Because the coalition actually brought in some good ones.
@Jackthelad@lemmy.world Yeah, it’d just be easier to reset than to sort through good from bad. Can always re-assess any good ones. Chances are even they can be done better.
Resetting the Brexit and other foreign treaty stuff could be quite tricky in practice too.
