I'm not even remotely upset by this idea.

I'd love labour to stand up for the left, and fight losing election after losing election for the rest of time (as has been done in basically all of UK's history, IF we weren't a two party system, and didn't need labour to actually be the opposition.

At the end of the day, if Labour consistently won elections as often as the Tories do right now, you know damn well the Tories would change their policies and move more towards the center to win.

WE HAVE A TWO PARTY SYSTEM. And a majority of the UK clearly isn't left leaning, you only have to compare the number of Tory wins, to the number of Labour wins over the past 200 years to see this.

The UK can't afford labour to just refuse to try and appease the electorate. At that point, we just aren't in a democracy anymore, since the majority of the UK only see one party they can vote for.

For democracy to work, we need an electable opposition, and that means while one of the two parties that are actually ever going to win an election is in power, the other has to try and suit as many people as it can, like a good opposition should.

So yes, I'd rather like Labour to try and listen to what the people want.

(I know left leaning labour voters hate to hear that the majority of the UK for 100's of years have had no interest in your type of politics, but facts just simply do not lie.)
