As Dan Evans argues:
That the 'progressive instincts [of UK #voters] have not, historically, been harnessed by the Labour party says more about the Labour party than the electorate.
... we need to appreciate people’s chaotic complexity, stop assuming views are fixed and can’t be changed – & rediscover the value of empathy'.
Building a left consensus is not impossible but it does require the sort of political leadership that seems currently absent in our political class
