It doesnt matter, the Left is so broken it needs a serious rethink. (If they have any one left who is still allowed to actually think :P)
Who ever replaces Jezza will be basically more of the same for now, the simple reason is the Left by default ostracises anyone who doesn't conform to its now cult like values, for them its no longer a difference of opinion its 'you are a bad person if you think otherwise'.
Their mantra is now constantly pointing out all the bad it sees in people, society, culture and the nation. Greedy, stupid, racist, <insert>phobic, etc' While claiming to be the moral puritans with a 'better way' to fix it all. What was once used in a more subtle liberal way to appear noble, tollerent and progressive has now become arrogant, codecending and spiteful.
You cannot persuade people to vote for you when you give the impression you dispair in / despise them.
Anyway they are stuck now, they cannot win back the working class / Northen vote and keep the Middle class / student vote. Because the two are at odds. If they adopt the values of one they will be rejected by ther other.
They will have wait for either Milenials to grow up or for late boomers to die out. But even then they have a problem: Generation Z -while the right wing Controls Goverment and Economics (areas so remote from the life of an average teenager)
The left still broadly controls main stream culture and academia. So for Generation Z the Left has become the perceived dominent culture 'the status quo' in school and pop culture -And young people generally like to rebel against the status quo and create their own thing. I dont know how they miscalulated that when 20 odd years ago the right died the very same death.
If Trump wins 2020, i think thats will be final nail in the coffin for 'Social Justice' left of this past decade.
