Starmer is Blair 2.0

Just as you can see happened with Mamdani, any genuine left candidate in the UK (Corbin) gets smeared and fought even by their own side. Whenever these candidates come out it shows that the 2 party system is an illusion, and all those in power seek to profit and rule.

France has real, relevant leftwing parties, not sure about most of the others, though

Starmer is no where near Blair 2.0, Blair at least had charisma, a political plan and, at least before Iraq, genuinly had mass grass roots support. Starmer has none of them, he’s an apolitical middle maneger who has been pushed to the top of the party by a right wing clique in labour as a way to purge the left.

Like Biden’s legacy is fumbling the 2nd term so the US got Trump 2.0?

It is a very high possibility, most likely not next election but certainly one after that is a likely candidate.
