Why do traditionally left wing parties often pander to what the right wing parties want?
Because the right wing has more electoral power.
And that’s exactly what we need to build too.
So the left wing parties do what the majority _actually_ want.

Your analysis is paper thin, I’m afraid
Their tactical vote advice in the GE was to get Tories out and to try and put Lib Dems into official opposition.
The ideal tactical advice depends on what polling tells you is possible as well as your ideal outcomes.
But I guess we’re going to have to learn that the hard way… again
Right wing donor policies of the rich elite are the thing that "left wing" parties are going for.
Actually, historically, the total progressive vote is always higher but we have a mad electoral system - which Labour supports because it gives them unfettered power when they occasionally win.
Well - they fetter themselves obviously.
