Yeah he doesn't have the power to dissolve parliament now. Would definitely be a caretaker pm while the Tories eject a new leader.

Pretty much the entirety of the left wing parties in Ukraine have been banned over the last number of years, starting in 2015. But thats another whole can of worms.

Yeah there's several leftist parties apparently, but only the Russian-sponsored ones (communist or not, there's a bunch of regional separatist ones *cough*SNP*cough*) got banned.

That bit about SNP is just a joke obvs

e: they also banned some nazbol and fash ones with Russian ties, but in practice the one with the most popular support was a regionalist party

Some of them are dubiously leftist too, more of the "then we rejoin with Putin's Russia and the borders look a bit like the USSR and we sling some symbols up, therefore leftism happens" types.

Of course there's plenty of people happy to throw actual inconvenient leftist parties under the bus along with those ones.

Yeah every possible endgame is at best only marginally less poo poo than the current hellscape, even though I'm not *quite* as pessimistic about PM Keith as most here. The way I figure it, Starmer's such a spineless, focus group-loving, poll-obsessed windsock that he might actually be persuaded to do some Good Things if they poll well enough.

Let's just enjoy Boris' impending defenestration and Tory infighting while it lasts.
