The Country, moving more right, because Conservatives do vote.
It's okay to be adversarial towards politicians, we should be demanding more, and questioning them, but ffs be smart enough to choose your adversary.

@RickiTarr Whatever happened to the time-honoured tradition of entrism? Surely, if the Left isn’t Left enough for Leftists’ tastes, it makes sense to join up and push it there from within?

@davej @RickiTarr There's an old trade unionist saying here in the UK, which I bring up quite often but it often bears repeating:
Vote Labour on Thursday, fight Labour on Friday.
And I think that works in most countries, replacing Labour with the name of the relevant party. You vote for the people you're most able to influence, you do everything you can to help them win, and when they do win, that's when you get to work.
