Labour...

The Labour party is being torn apart, with the pro-Corbeyn and anti-Corbeyn camps pointing their fingers at each other. The pro-Corbeyn folk seem happy for Labour to stay in opposition, as a party of principled protest. Their protestations that Corbeyn is electable as Prime Minister are just wishful thinking.

The anti-Corbeyn people want to be in government, and will do whatever it takes to get there, which reminds me of the sweeping changes Tony Blair made to what became New Labour. I can see both sides of the argument, which merely marks me as an unprincipled fence-sitter. While the argument rages, the Labour party just looks like a rabble… because it’s an argument that no-one can win…
