But I couldn’t vote for the current Labour Party, too much hypocrisy as the title says, too many pie in the sky aims which I doubt can be properly funded, and too many nasty elements within the movement, albeit a small minority I'm sure, and they need sorting out. Will be interesting to see where it heads to after this election and (what I expect to be) a defeat, I wouldn’t rule out voting Labour again if it becomes more like the party I used to support.

I think many of us feel exactly the same way.

My background is very much Labour and apart from a short rebellious period where I went Liberal (Tories being a step too far) Labour are my roots, though in later life I did vote for Thatcher because of what was wrong at the time, before switching to New Labour. Part of the landslide Labour win.

But you have described correctly the current Labour Party. A real shame. Whilst Corbyn is in charges (Milliband too for that matter) I cannot bring myself to vote Labour again. Even if that benefits that d’head Johnson.

Or all of the above?

Not sure what vote would make this better. We are in the deep doo doos.

If you are suggesting most of them are just a massive waste of space, I’m with you.

Time for the Monster Raving Looney Party to emerge. At least they are honest.
