The goal is moral and ideological purity, right? Right?
Actually I’m torn like most lefties on this. I see the constant self-damage in the Labour Party’s tendency to split into ideological factions. But I also admire people who are principled enough to quit their jobs because they can’t accept this implicit support for a horrific military campaign. It’s the old, difficult question of whether to dissent silently (and ineffectively?) from the inside or openly (and ineffectively?) from the outside.
And yes, if the Tories win the next election I can’t imagine the state the country will be in a few years later.
