    I may be stateside but i’m still amazed that a party that’s supposed to be truly left-leaning is putting out alt-right policies in the U.K.

          @makingrain ‘deluting’ is not a word. Well, it could be. It could mean to take someone’s lute away.

          I believe you mean DILUTING, which is the act of reducing the concentration or strength of something by addition of a moderating agent.

          In this case, I might use ‘diminish’ instead.

          am i? they implement draconian mass surveilance measures, reinforce racism, and tolerate a shocking degree of transphobia. when i look at the things the labour party has done in my life, i see a littany right-wing populist actions that undermine left-wing populist movements. if we use the definition of fascism that fascism is right-wing populism undercutting left-wing populism, i find it hard to see Labour as something other than the slick clean wide smiling acceptable version of Britain’s Ur-Fascism spearheaded by the Conservative and Union Party
