I'd like to think so Galaxy, they embody a lot of what many would like to see from a Labour party that's lost its way. A party set up to represent the blue collar vote, the under privileged, not to deride the left behind communities, not to mock their values. Not to place labels on people "bigot" "racist" "Terf" "transphobe" "Little Englander" when they raise concerns as to some very pernicious happenings that have become embedded under both the main parties. People want their politicians not to be in thrall to lobbyists, umpteen quangos set up at enormous cost, they are sick of enquiries on national scandals where nothing changes for the better and abuses continue, human rights lawyers who defend the indefensible and obstruct justice, they don't want their politicians to be liars, to take kickbacks. If people are turned off from voting it is because they are well aware of the malaise that has pervaded the previous two main parties, resulting in the "uni party" label.
I think the vote in Canada is entirely different, they are facing one of the most pugnacious and aggressive POTUS probably ever, and Canada's proximity has bound to set off alarm bells after his election with all his ridiculous rhetoric, of course that was bound to galvanise their voting stance. Having said that Trudeau was almost equally appalling as Trump in his very own authoritarian actions, some very unsavoury goings on during his tenure, locking the truckers out of their bank accounts, albeit briefly Canada's Frankenstein Euthanasia policy and of course the trans nonsense which has been adopted in the extreme to the detriment of women.
