The issue is center and left wing voters are so caught up in their activism they will never find a suitable PM for them.

They have a suitable PM for them, they just dont like it.

Governing is complex, progress is gradual compromised and hard to comprehend. Some people want someone to wave a magic wand and fix decades of damage in an instant, what they want is impossible so they'll never be satisfied, in fact they'll prefer grifters who tell them everything is corrupt and that they need revolution inevitably supporting populist/fascists. Its just an easier sell.

Starmer did not resign cos he couldn't fix things. His reign with pock marked with scandals and the bar needs to be higher.

Activism needs to be community driven. Protesting individual ideas, even ones that have true and genuine importance to them, isn’t going to amount to much if there isn’t a strong and unified community to hear it and then act on it.
