Oh yes, because there's definately room to be found positioning yourself to the right of the lib dems ffs.
About the only people who don't want to legalise at least some drugs (or otherwise do not give a shit) are Mail reading arseholes who vote tory anyway and always will till the heat death of the universe.
As for nukes, apart from the couple thousand odd people who are employed in some way with Trident no one much gives a fuck.
It's amazing that Labour think this is a winning strategy. Damn near everyone in the country is still reeling from the fact that the cost of living has gone up to the point that utilities are costing up to 60% more and food bills are about 20% more. There's a massive increase in foodbank use not only by people working zero hours and unemployed but by people who are on decent enough incomes cos noone has any fucking money. Everyone is at breaking point and if Labour either had any plans to do anything about it or wanted to win any election ever again they'd hammer that home.
Fuck banging on about lib dems wanting to legalise drugs, bring up the fact that last time they were in govt they bought in austerity that led to this. Ditto Boris Johnson's parties. No one really gives a shit about that cos that's what we expect of him. Bring up the fact that while ppl can't pay their mortguages or pay rent the fat fuck is guzzling champagne and probably nobbing the nanny again.
It should be beyond pathetically easy for Labour, now that the entirety of the press and media have gone from portraying them with vitriolic hatred to just indifference, to win. I get the feeling we're gonna see these pricks somehow lose.
All hyperbole aside, if (and that is a big if) labour get in we'd see some limited improvements in some areas in conjunction with things getting worse in others.
As everything is going down the shitter at the moment and labour don't have the will or inclination to bring about the kind of changes needed to stop it, those improvements probably won't register. People don't notice so much when their lives could have gotten even worse after all.
We'd see a lot of noise about education, healthcare and social care probably some extra funding for schools, hospitals, extra funding for higher and further ed. Most of that will be snaffled up by private sector sharks of course but realistically things probably won't get as shit as fast as they would have otherwise so again not that noticeable.
I'd also expect the whole surveilance state thing to be massively amped up. I think the tories would absolutely do this too, but I think the direction Labour takes on it might be slightly different and weirdly worse in some ways.
In terms of people who would actually benefit. Firstly, middle class and upper middle classes in the right circles will be absolutely raking it in cos there will be weird think tanks and whatnot popping up like mushrooms after rain to hoover up govt funding. If labour win, it'd also prob mean that the northern constituencies that flipped last time went back. Labour might have enough braincells to rub together to work out it might be worth investing more in those areas but I don't really know.
Either way, they'll get 4 yrs, 8 tops before it goes back to the conservatives and once again it'll be really fucking hard to spot a genuine difference between them.

Why vote labour instead of cons of lib dems now though? What does Labour even offer, or stand for now?

So it's the USA then
Typical Jezza, sabotaging Labour from beyond the grave! :long-corbyn:
Their only reason to exist is to deny the left from controlling a major party. That's it.
