The non-communist Left has no arguments beyond "Yeh but that won't go down well with Northern working-class voters".
That's why they've been so ineffective against Corbo et al since 2015. And the fact that Corbo is technically no longer LOTO hasn't changed much.

They need to find the courage to say: "While we don't want pure capitalism, and while we're certainly not Thatcherites - the market economy is basically good. There, we said it. Yes, it's terribly uncool and un-hip to say that. But it's true, and we'll keep saying it."

The Hodgemeister is good on this, too.
