    Then why did they use the phrase “why isn’t this ringing alarm bells?” to describe the only leftist political party remaining in the UK?

    “This” refers to young woman voting different, on average more left then before. Read the article first, then comment.

      And I’m saying that young women voting more to the left is no reason at all to sound an alarm … if anything it’s a good thing, given how the British centrist parties keep fucking people over.

          I have read it, it literally says that some young women are being “radicalised” into voting Green, which is intensely ridiculous.

          It appears aimed at bending the ears of Labour, but anyone who has been around for a while will know that Labour is very good at ignoring progressive or environmentally minded voices from within their own ranks.

            Is a lot closer to what is said in the article than “some young women are being “radicalised” into voting Green”

            You have not read it.

              I read the first 3/4 of it, then gave up because I don’t care about someone trying to talk sense into a political institution that has repeatedly failed working people since Tony “War Criminal” Blair came into power.

              The use of “alarm bells” and “radicalised” didn’t come off as sarcastic, so I still think this is a stupid article.
