I hope Starmer's not allowed to forget that Corbyn got more national votes than him, twice!
Oh no doubt the biggest factor was the undermining by his own party and the media, but his nuclear policy didn't help. Thankfully I don't think it's that big an issue, but it's an easy card to get right so it annoys me when it's got wrong.
Let the hogs bray about imaginary geopolitics, I say. I'd just rather our nicer socdems (Corbyn) didn't shoot themselves in the feet over principles that don't really matter in practice.
Nuclear policy is imaginary and doesn't matter - what you write on paper in peacetime means precisely zero if and when shit hits the fan.
It honestly really annoys me that it's remotely an issue in electoral politics, though if you're questioned realistically you should just say you're willing to nuke whoever because you're never gonna be tested on it anyway.
I think it's genuinely smart politics for a third party, at least one that doesn't have the media draw of Farage.
