As Trump advises Starmer to curb immigration & cut taxes to beat Farage, an important Q. becomes even clearer:
If you adopt your opponents' policies do you strengthen your own position or theirs?
Adopting others' policies just legitimates those polices, encourages waverers to vote for your opponents as the real thing & (as Labour are finding) alienates your base of supporters.
If you approach your opponents position, abandoning your own, do you gan more voters than you lose?
