Starmer'sexclusion of the left from running for parliamentiseffectively a coup, as well as the direct contradiction of commitmentshe made when he ran for leader of Labour.In the US, progressive can win election via the (generallyplutocratist) Democratic Party because it can't simply veto them fromrunning in Democratic primaries. The plutocratists push hard against them, even dishonestly;nonetheless, in each election, the number of progressive Democrats inCongress increases. In the UK, apparently, such an approach insidethe Labour Party is impossible now because its leaders have thecentralized power to exclude them.I can't judge the election strategy questions, but in terms of the thecompetition between parties, it is clear that Corbyn should move tothe Green Party if it will accept him. Appealing for Starmer torelent would be a dead end; as long as they lock out any new leftcandidates, Corbyn would be nothing but an aging token, with no chanceof inspiring anyone else.
