The only hope is that Labour are enacting a strategy of just getting elected first. Once they're in they can start moving to the left a bit more.
From listening to people in the know, there is still hope that Labour are in a phase of "underpromising" so that they can't be accused of irresponsibility. When government stops actively making things worse with its every decision, the economy may start to recover, at which point the government's economic levers might start to be worth pulling. Right now we just have to stop lurching, and start making friends with Europe again.
