  2. I think we need to see MORE of this, not less. For example, if you were a Labour member under Blair, Corbyn and Starmer there is no way that you could possibly have agreed with the policy and programme of all three of those leaders. The argument that you should ‘fight from within for change’ is nonsense. (So, if a party re-introduced hanging and public flogging should you just stick around and try and change it back?) Leave a party when it no longer represents your views. Re-join it if and when it does represent them again (or, with another variable, if your views change so that they re-align with the party).
