I suspect many on the left are simply more comfortable in Opposition (where they have the luxury of being able to complain about decisions of Government without having to make tough decisions or hard compromises).

I would argue that's the majority of the Labour PLP.I suspect many on the left are simply more comfortable in Opposition (where they have the luxury of being able to complain about decisions of Government without having to make tough decisions or hard compromises).
They proved this with their constant undermining of Corbyn. Ignoring the party members support. We might not have had Boris Von Cluster fuck in power now as I'm convinced Labour would have been in power in 2017. The labour leaks report showed their glee at the loss. Being MPs they are pretty much set up for life so fuck the rest of us.

To many on the left another Blair would not be winning, it would be losing again.Many on the left hate hearing this, but to win middle England, which is essential to winning elections, they need another Blair.

Just catching up with Ridge from Yesterday
Blair is on and it suddenly struck me, how we could do with a leader of his gravitas at the moment. I may not agree with him politically but he talks with real authority and he would do a far better job than the Eton Muppet or Mr Woodenhead.
I think I had best have a lie down.
If Blair was in power today with social media and forums, he wouldn’t stand a hope. He would be slated the same way Boris is, Starmer is, May was, Corbyn was etc - no politician today stands a chance. Everyone’s a ‘****’ apparently by our social media generation.

I've got no particular axe to grind with Burnham. It's a story planted to attack Keith from the Tory angle. Burnham would have to be an MP and I get the feeling he's been there done that.If you don't like him them that's a plus from me.
He'd better placed where he is in case there is a labour victory and the promise to devolve more power to the region's is kept.

Or they are more comfortable sat in their mother’s spare room, in their gym bottoms, bashing away on the Internet at how unfair the world is.I suspect many on the left are simply more comfortable in Opposition (where they have the luxury of being able to complain about decisions of Government without having to make tough decisions or hard compromises).
