I really agree about the big tent thing re Labour's current positioning. So many people seem to forget that in 2017 Labour nearly won, with Corbyn in charge. Theresa May had to bribe the DUP to support her to be able to form a Government. Left wing, Corbyn-style policies are popular and there's a swathe of people, especially the young, who the current lurch right-wards is frustrating enormously. Those people are, like Coco (& me) seriously considering voting Green, others may just stay at home and not vote at all. That's how Labour end up without a majority, certainly not a huge one. I actually think that might not be entirely bad; it never seems to end well when a Govt doesn't have to listen, but it's clearly not what they're trying for.

An ex-pat is someone who has been sent abroad for work or possibly study, possibly for quite a long time like diplomatic staff, but they are always on a time limited stay. If you've moved to live in another country permanently, you have migrated and that's that. You're an immigrant to that country. You've emigrated from the one you were (probably) born in.
