It's about having a more pragmatic view of the process. Rascal is never going to get the politics he wants as it's just not popular. We have 3 or 4 out of every 10 UK voters intending to vote tory or reform. Starmer has taken the steps necessary to maximise the appeal of labour in order to win. Labour need 40% plus. If that means sitting on the fence on a number of issues then most labour voters are OK with that. Corbyn plaid the strong principles approach and lost big time. My principal approach is I want a labour party which can win. I'm in my 40s and Blair is the only labour leader to have beaten an incumbent tory government in my life time. Winning is the starting point.
None of that explains why you as an indiviual are giving your suppprt to a man who brought Akehurst into the party or publicly says starving kids is acceptable.
