Tomorrow, if you are a socialist, you should vote Labour. This is not just because the electoral left alternatives to Labour look unlikely to make an impact, although they do. The independents who are standing against Labour, many for principled reasons and some because they felt they had no choice, will at best, comprise a group of a few individuals whose main point of agreement is their opposition to Starmer’s Labour (and the Tories, of course). This is not the basis for taking forward a strategy for fundamental change to our society and some of those standing, for example Workers’ Party candidates, would not in any case want to challenge significant, socially conservative aspects of British society.
