The British electorate have little taste for socialism. That’s why it’s Blair, Brown and Starmer who have been electable, while Kinnock and Corbyn haven’t.
I think you’d be surprised - for example most people are in favour of nationalising water and railways. And there is the NHS of course, which is regarded as a national treasure!
Right-wing media only goes after softer targets like the poor, disabled, women and minorities. I think if most people were left to decide without manipulation or coercion they would choose socialism (although they might call it something else), which they have done in the past.

Except Starmer is considered a huge dissapointment and no better than a Tory at this point.
