The fall of the Tory party

Genuinely?

For me it's a few things namely;

tendency to consider other view points/factors - aka "boths-sides" in modern parlance
not holding extreme and unrealistic opinions/considering the practical
failure to put all the things in binary opposition

I think your bullet points are more related to my personality (or lack of) rather than political views. I have an autism disorder,a massive data nerd and also earn a living, at least in part, from analysing things as objectively as I can. It doesn't help that I'm also the world's largest pedant. Its possible to be left wing but know that the left wing aren't a realistic immediate solution to the problems in front of the country right now.

For what its worth, I left the SWP just after the Iraq war protests in 2003 and remained party-less until I joined Labour after the referendum. 8 years a union rep in the NHS.

Anyway, its no big deal....was genuinely flabbergasted to be called a centerist. Its the first time in my life I haven't been mocked for being a hopeless leftie!
