But that’s exactly what you’ve said? You’ve accused anyone of not voting for Keir to be supporting the conservatives.I do understand that. And I agree. But there is a bigger picture here. Not voting will lead to a government which is even further away than what you’re looking for. That’s not to say you should flat out vote them no matter what, but it’s also not the right approach to think of it in isolation.
The party has behaved horrifically towards anyone on the left as is being evidenced by the Forde Report (not that anyone is in the slightest surprised by any of the details) but you’re now telling those people to suck it up and support somebody who was A) complicit with that and B) who’s ‘policies’ are at odds with their beliefs and C) has already proven himself to be extremely untrustworthy by going back on literally every pledge he made to become leader!
As mentioned on the previous page, it’s highly unlikely that I don’t vote for them because my local MP is great, but it would entirely be in spite of Keir and his centre right chums leading the party. If Keir crashes and burns at the election I won’t be happy that the tories won, but I won’t be sad to see back of him in the slightest.
