Australian Election

Post by Glacier »

Similar to 2016, Labour overplayed its hand, catering too much to progressive activists at the expense of the blue collar/union left, at it cost them the election.

The class-based realignment of party politics isn’t unique to my country. All over the world, left-wing parties increasingly are being co-opted by politicians who reflect the attitudes and priorities of voters with higher incomes and education levels, while right-wing parties increasingly attract blue-collar workers who’ve become alienated by parties that once championed the little guy.

Classic neoliberalism.

Speaking of failed political plans...here comes Joe Biden!
