Yeah …. I’m not convinced. Tactical voting almost never occurs to such a massive extent in British elections, and certainly not when the outcome is a mid-term by election that won’t affect the parliamentary arithmetic in the slightest. This is a huge vote against Boris Johnson and a very serious wake-up call for his party which must now decide if it wants him to continue as leader. But it isn’t an endorsement of the Labour Party in any way. There’s nothing in last night’s result that can possibly support your claim that Starmer is “electable”.
