I always think of Western liberals as being the real tankies these days. You know the kind of people who say that we have to ignore the last Egyptian election and support the current government in Egypt for the sake of democracy. That’s straight up tankie thinking.

well said rob
They’d loose a lot of the demographic of voters that keeps them in opposition.
Well they just kicked the teeth out of everyone else on top of a bunch of new supporters. Many of whom were previously pretty suspect and stayed away because of said baggage.
Had they run more candidates they’d be in definitive control rather than jockeying over whether they’ll be in opposition or in the driver’s seat of a coalition.
And those past supporters kept them “in opposition” in the sense that they were a tiny presence with little influence for like half a century.
So like I said. Might do better to cast that off entirely. Even up North their fortunes have improved as they’ve embraced a role as a progressive opposition over being the republican half of power sharing.
Still a lot better than a mobbed up real estate grifter perpetually stuck in the eighties. Or a perpetual public school boy with a mediocre classics degree who thinks he is Churchill.
