Italy and Argentina moved to the right. There are a few in Europe like Hungry and Croatia. The UK did not move to the left as such, the were pissed of with an incompetent Tory party. Australia got sucked in by the promises and will more than likely vote them out next May. Northern Territory and Qld smashed the left in the last two months.Ryan
Interesting stat I heard today is that every western country has changed leadership in this last election cycle. It's not a left vs right thing as countries like Australia and the UK moved left. It's more to do with dissatisfaction with the global inflation and cost of living crisis and growing inequality.
UK also split the right vote. A lot of the dissatisfaction with the Tories went further right to Reform. In fact, Corbyn got a higher percentage of the vote than Starmer did, but these guys, like the US electoral college, played the system.
Trudeau and Starmer should be ashamed and introduce a form of proportional representation, but they won’t.
In MMP Corbyn and the Greens might have had a chance against May. In short, the UK system is bonkers and doesn’t reflect the situation of the country very well where there isn’t a simple left/right continuum in the parties.
