If Labour truly had wanted to keep its majority, it should first:
Solidify the social welfare state, for everyone. Tax the billionnaires and multimillionnaires by a lot. Nationalise companies. Call it “reduction of bureaucracy” (because not having to go through all sorts of hoops and exceptions to get social help, REDUCES bureaucracy; and making state rail etc. also can break away the dependency of the UK on London!)
I don’t like this one, but it could sharply restrict immigration, and advertise that it does this a lot. It should however not be like the Danish or Australian model - it should be more humane; eg. those that already live here, can stay. It should paint those that want to make it inhumane, as “unrealistic” and “opening floodgates” (cus it will have people run even harder to the UK, because higher risk, higher reward). Fight the lion by its own weapon.
Quietly actually improve queer rights (ESPECIALLY including trans). Denounce the Cass report as fake news, put in informed consent, etc. Be sure to do this quietly a few days after a big news event, so that the public is distracted.
Remove those privacy-infringing spy laws. Leave the 14 Eyes, remove thousands of cameras. And actually lock up the far-right politicians without parole, for 20 years, and make them get rehabilitated. Idk what Mao did to convince Pu Yi to be a good communist, but something like that.
And why does Labour not do this? Because Keir has sold out his own party. While he’s from the right party, he has turned it away from the people, when the very thing Labour should do, is to be there for and by the people of the UK!
And while we’re at it, Labour could put in a proportional representation system. If Labour were to stand to win some seats from such a system, then Starmer could perhaps be convinced of the usefulness of doing so. It’s the wrong reason, sure, but it’s the right thing to do: proportionality.
Starmer should furthermore seek much closer cooperation to the EU. In these times where fascists threaten left and right, we should do everything to combat it.
