    Counterpoint: the press won’t allow a lefty leftleft government to get elected, so Labour see centrism as their only route to power. Look at how they stitched up Corbyn.

      I agree that needs to be done up until the election, but now Labour have a massive majority and no election for over 4 years. There’s no need to be pandering to the right at the point.
