    What is it with "expert politicians" who's idea it is to appeal to the opposition party's base? They're the base. They're not going for you.

    All the Labour shit is like "we need to be sexist (carefully), racist (carefully), transphobic (openly) and stupidly patriotic to win votes" like anyone that would appeal to isn't going to just vote Tory anyway.

    This is like when all those MMOs come out and call themselves a WoW killer and it turns out that if the game just plays like WoW people are just going to want to play WoW instead.

      Scumbag centrist politician: "For strategic reasons we have to be a little racist to appeal to voters"

      Scumbag centrist politician five years later: "The [ethnic slur]s are evil, lazy and criminal and should be stripped of all rights!"
