The whole point is to rid ourselves of the Tory party at the forthcoming election. Hopefully, they'll receive such a massive kicking that they'll no longer be the official opposition. Collectively, we all need a breathing space. We can then, as leftists, just do our best to hold Labour's feet to the fire and maybe extract something positive from them. In our 'managed democracy' through the pressure of public opinion this is all we have at our disposal.
Absolutely! The only thing I'd disagree with here is the idea that we need to wait until after the election. Making progressive arguments in public is actually good for Labour, even if they're not quite meeting the threshold currently, because it shows how far away the Conservatives truly are.
