I cannot see a way out of this for Starmer. Extremely poor judgement or a willingness to turn a blind eye. Either way it’s bad.

I get most of my news from Lemmy, but I welcome suggestions.

    start here, read the FACTUAL parts of the ideologies listed.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Political_Compass#Political_model

    check the sources to see if they are credible, but the text should "mainstreamise" your ideas on how to analyse political parties/movements at a basic level.

    If you're talking about just flipping left/right back, that's not a big ask and not particularly hard to do.

    I just assumed the current use of left/right was Americanised or something, considering how much of the English-speaking internet is American.

    I'm fine admitting ignorance and I'm more than willing to learn and course-correct, but I'm not sure why you're being petulant with me. If I was genuinely unwilling to learn anything and bullheaded, I imagine this type of conversation would just make me stubborn to change.

    However, that's just my experience when discussing something with people of a differing opinion. I generally find a calm and unemotional approach to be more beneficial for exploring ideas and perhaps changing views, especially so with conservatives, who consider progressives to be emotionally driven.
