YMB is right when he says that Labour originally came to power to fight for the working man. Unfortunatel

My apologies as this is copied from elsewhere but it is so true and to the point I had to share it.
The upper class/working class distinction has gone. You either have money or you don't. You are either aspirational or you aren't. That's it. Labour representing"working class people" is seeking an electorate which no longer exists.
Whether you agree or not, the Tories are frimly planted in moderate central ground - and rightly or wrongly have developed a reputation for common sense and relatively fair governance, notwithstanding they make plenty mistakes. By and large this resonates with people. They want British, competence, fair and non woke.
For any opposition to have any relevance, they can only really occupy the centrist ground but put forward a team they say is better than the opposition and makes fewer mistakes. If that is Starmer's policy, his team are by and large nowhere near the same calibre as the Tories and while the Tories have their mavericks, they are still bright and broadly on message. Contrast with the Labour left/Momentum and busted flushes or total dumbskulls like Thornberry or Abbott. It's like suggesting that Tranmere Rovers can compete with Liverpool.
Starmer is an intelligent man, but like May has no charisma, without which he will never be electable. Alternatives are very few, if any, Burnham maybe? That said, Labour need to then do two things: 1. Merge with the non woke part of the Lib Dems and 2. Kick out all the left wing. That way we can have 4 parties to satisfy everyone: a Green and woke Lib Dem group for the tree huggers: a Communist party for the radicals; and two centrist parties which compete on competence of which Labour turns itself from Tranmere into Man Utd.
