Did the Polictial compass again and to no surprise I& #39;ve become more progressive since joining University, my issues don& #39;t lie with that statment or at the fact I have progressive to some. I& #39;ve always held progessive views but recently just been finding myself lost, (1/7)
Not just politcally but in manners of life apart from quite literally being "lost". As someone who didn& #39;t believe in the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn I& #39;ve found myself trying to understand the current political discourse and that of previous terms especially (2/7)
That of New Labour. I& #39;d be nice to have a polictal conversation of why New Labour was so terrible, because personally I don& #39;t believe so. I do keep on watching that brilliant Gordon Brown speech, so maybe that& #39;s why i& #39;ve got this particular bias (3/7)

Because I& #39;m sad to see all the in fighting in and amongst the left wing. I feel like we& #39;ll tear each other apart before we act on the danger of the right. (7/7)
