The pessimist in me says he'll be replaced by someone even more conservative
Burnham isn't more conservative but he isn't really any more progressive either. I expect the differences in policy will be imperceptible.
He will somehow be cooler and more cringe than Starmer. That's impressive I guess.
Yeah
His rhetoric will be softer. He won't be as vile to hear or watch. His policy will be functionally identical. The exact same people pull his strings.
Considering no lessons are being learned, it'll either be someone more conservative or at least equally conservative
