Or vote in Starmer. Have 3-4 years of non-action while the media blame Labour for everything the Tories did in the previous 14 years and the next general election all is forgiven and forgotten and the same Tory party get in with another super majority on an anti-immigration / low tax platform.
You could mitigate that somewhat.
If I were Labour, I’d put a policy in the manifesto that tied MP’s pay rises to positive economic and social uplift.
“These guys wrecked the economy. They’re going to spend the next four years blaming us for it. They’ll almost certainly going to promise tax cuts at the next election. The country cannot afford to cut taxes now. That’s the adult answer, and we trust you with it
To this end, no Labour MP’s will take a pay rise unless we are doing what we promised.
This journey is going to be long, but we are in it with you”
It’s awful, but Labour will be playing offence and defence for the next five years. Do a good job. Call a snap election when the going is good. Repeat your messaging, really go all in on just how much the Tories have fecked shit up. Constantly release facts, figures, financial breakdowns once they’ve looked at the books.
I mean, they won’t. Exactly what you say will happen, will play out. But it needn’t be that open/shut.
