I didn't vote for them, I couldn't bring myself to even though I desperately wanted rid of the previous incumbents, but I actually quite liked Starmer - it was the rest of them. I thought he was serious and staid but competent and decent. Now I am honestly not sure why I thought that.

Consider that this lifelong (since I was old enough to think for myself), old-school tax-and-spend socialist would be more likely to vote for Kemi Badenoch than Starmer in an election tomorrow, and you have some idea of the disarray in which British politics finds itself.

I agree wholeheartedly. But I circle back to Thatchers first government and wonder if people felt the same at this point in the cycle.
