Honey, it’s time for your controlled opposition to take their turn.

My personal theory: Keir has been groomed by capital to step in when opposition to the Tories and a clamour for change is at its highest. He will entirely and deliberately blow the chance for change and keep as many Tory policies as he can. Then come the next election, popular support for the Labour Party will have died off and We can resume our thousand years of Tory -> Fascist rule.
- I’m still convinced he’s an MI5 asset that was activated to contain socialists in the Labour Party: https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2020/04/19/keir-starmers-links-with-an-intelligence-chief-add-to-his-controversies-as-dpp/
  (Which is in agreement with you as MI5 is capital, but nonetheless - call me paranoid, but I do honestly think there was a coordinated intervention against Corbynism by capital, the state and the media).
  
  hes a member of the trilateral commission, his actions whether or not he's an intelligence asset would be the same
  there was certainly the collusion against corbyn you talk about but corbyn himself was also quite incompetent. i think even mcdonnell would've beaten may in that election (unless he would've prompted a larger response)
In bad country, elections are not held on a regular schedule, but dates are arbitrarily set by the unelected prime minister.
- at least americans could vote, being a holiday and all
damn not giving a lot of time for sturmer to dump even more semi-lefties policies.
im not looking forward to keith stormfront

the Left Wing will have it's chance to flap
Now I live in Scotland I am in a mind to vote SNP. On the one hand, they are libs, and on the other, they actually do push forward a lot of left policies like we keep getting told Labour will do. Obviously I'm not voting Labour, but probably not Green either, and I don't even know if any commies are running where I live (and even if they are, I feel their efforts might be better spent organising outside of bourgeois democracy).
why is he doing it early? i figured the tories were desperately holding on and hoping something big happened to give them some chance of winning, but i'm pretty sure the tories are as fucked as they always were
- The treasury just released their report, and the Tories won't be able to enact the tax cuts next quarter that they thought would be a saving grace to their election chances, atleast not without breaking their "fiscal responsibility" rules.
  They're probably wishing to lose right now, in the hopes that labour won't be able to turn things around in time for the 2029 election.
