Why do too many (Anglophone) centrist-leftish parties feel so hollow?
Geoff Mulgan thinks it’s
- tactics over strategy
- incumbency bias
- business capture
- a loss of connection to the Arts and culture
- a low energy equilibrium when communicating with voters and activists
Whatever you think of his ideas, you can’t accuse Zohran Mamdani of any of this.

@Akshay Oh, quite a few of us do accuse him of exactly that stuff!
A lot of us criticize him specifically because he comes off as so hollow with things like tactical rhetoric that won't make strategic sense.
I could go through the rest of the list, he sounds like just more of the same empty Democratic rhetoric that doesn't really match the real world.
