Principle, b. I vote for the party, not the leader.Originally Posted by Burney
Yes. BUT BY DOING SO YOU KEEP HIM IN, FFS!
Put it this way: if - say - Nicky Morgan became Tory leader, they could kiss my vote goodbye. No amount of tribalism could convince me to vote for such a person. Why would you not feel the same about Corbyn?
That's not principle, p. Indeed, if the party's principles change and you don't, it is the opposite of principle.
The core values and the mission never change. Policy is not principle, its the means. Its the ends I vote for.
The ends in this being Jeremy Corbyn as PM, John McDonnell as Chancellor, Diane Abbott as Home Secretary and Clause 4 in full effect?
Jesus wept, p.
Wont be as bad as you fear, b. Its McDonnell you want to watch out for. Corbyn is a picnic compared to him. Proper, old school sack of ****.The ends in this being Jeremy Corbyn as PM, John McDonnell as Chancellor, Diane Abbott as Home Secretary and Clause 4 in full effect?

Of course, were such a thing to happen, I would be forced to respect the result of the vote.
However, should certain others feel otherwise and - say - launch a military coup, I would unfortunately be helpless to stop them.
