    I don’t think it’s the worst fear. At least they choose the Greens over Reform.

      It’s definitely their worst fear. They’d rather hand their country to the fascists than allow any kind of progressive government, just like the Democrats in the US.

        You know that, six months after leading Labour to a wipeout at the hands of the Faragists, Starmer would be on the boards of at least three companies, the beneficiary of offshore bank accounts worth hundreds of millions and spending most of his time on his yacht. The Owners reward their loyal servants.

        Funny, because the non-voters handed it to fascists when they had no chance at getting their progressive government anyway.

      Labour Together hates socialists far more than it hates fascists. It has even adopted a number of fascist policies, while purging socialists from the party.

      it’s shown that you can vote for a fringe party and not allow reform in.

      Many leftwing people might now choose to vote for a real socialist option.

      Came here to say exactly this! But coming 3rd, behind Greens and Reform, is pretty close to the worst fear (coming 3rd behind Reform and Greens).

        It was comical hearing Badenoch (whose party got 706 votes in the byelection) declare that this was the end of Labour (which did poorly, but which still got 12 times as many votes as the Tories).
