Mozz "...I couldn't vote for the current Labour Party. This will, with luck, give them the chance to sort their house out, rid themselves of the toxicity and the antisemitism within the party..."
I couldn't agree more with those words if I tried.
The opposition should be electable in order to keep the Government on its toes - I want the opposition to be strong and a viable alternative, and quite simply Labour under Corbyn were not strong, viable or electable.
They swung far too much to the left, were woolly on Brexit, Corbyn himself was a political pygmy, economically an idiot, a liar and with a pretty dubious past considering the people and organisations he was cosy with - the latter being probably why he disgracefully failed to tackle the Jew-hate.
He didn't represent what I would call your normal, sensible, Labour voter - he appealed to extremists who did not possess the thinking-power to consider the ramifications of his ideology and policies.
As a Tory I sincerely hope Labour, proper Labour, will be able to wrench itself back to left of centre, consign Momentum to a footnote, and become electable again.

"A good day for democracy" In some ways, yes. Brexit ought to be 'done', Corbyn will resign and the toxic DUP no longer hold any sway. However, an unfettered government, whatever their flavour, isn't always a good thing. What we are faced with now is 5 years of Autocracy and, unless Labour can reform, taking a new direction, that 5 years could become 50.
I don't think it was mainly Corbyn/Brexit wot lost it. Voters simply saw through Labour's big fat lies (waspis etc.) and wholeheartedly rejected their nightmarish vision of a hard left, socialist future for the UK. It will take a lot to prise the Labour hard core away from that ideology. I wish the party would split.
No Dave, I'm saying it couldn't exist without an opposition party. If Labour disbanded then there wouldn't be one, unless you meant they rebrand as a branches Labour Party. I'm all for Labour gutting themselves, ridding all the toxicity and coming back stronger. If that's what you meant, I apologise for misunderstanding your post.
