    He presented himself as a moderate, which in reality means he wanted to pull the labor party back to the right again. The very first thing he did was purge the left wing of the party

      What’s this Labor Party of which you type? Are letters falling off a la Tory Conference?

      Honestly, good riddance to some of the labour left, I hope they are happy in the new “Your Party” they set up.

        That’s fair. I’m much happier voting for Greens, less hand wringing, more sleep, that sort of thing. I couldn’t imaging having the support of genocide on my conscience, I support it via taxes… But voting for it? Then theres the anti-privacy, the anti-LGBT, the Mandleson thing…

        I can’t remember the moment I chose not to vote labour, it could have been when he told people to leave. I do remember, very specifically, not wanting to support Starmer though, a good call I think. There’s a reason Starmer got fewer votes than Corbyn: we knew.
