    Isn’t it a bit more nuanced than that?

      A bit.

      Because at the end of it. His constituents have chosen him multiple times. Labour has no right to deny them the chance to do so again.

      So if they refuse to offer his direct voters the same options. He likely feels he has a duty to let them choose between him and some Labour parachute accident.

      Only in the same way that Coke and Pepsi are differnt

      As Orwell pointed out way back then, they’re both sides of the neo liberal coin.

      If you want Tory vote Tory or Labour, if you want chnage Vote Green.

        I’d argue that certain welfare reforms under the previous Labour government wouldn’t have been considered under a Conservative one. Equally, a lot policies that affect numerous people would have been very different in the last few years if we had a Labour government.

        Are the Greens really much different from your broad perspective?

        Neoliberalism didn’t exist yet when Orwell was alive.
