In theory they should be, but their voter base is still predominantly middle class. Reform have somehow won over the working class by a pretty considerable margin.
You guys better get on that unless you wanna look like America within the next 30 years if we use the neolib takeover of the Democratic party in the 90s for a reference. Probably faster because they've got the US to model it from now.

So the entire Labour party has abandoned labor and the working class to just become Tory-lite.
I know that the Greens are gaining popularity, but is there a true working class party in the UK anymore?
