Precisely. And any Labour Party member, not supporter, but member, who thinks joining her seems a little like going backwards is in the wrong party.
The Tory party is dying, figuratively and literally and has little appeal to young voters. The old maxims no longer apply, youthful radicalism dulls to bourgeois conformity as one gets older and more invested, but that model is busted, permanently. And the Tories and New Labour busted it, ladders pulled up, wealth and power concentrated in fewer hands, the post war consensus dead. May's one nation Toryism sounds appealing but is backed up with nothing but rhetoric, there is a reason why we are where we are and to change this for the better there needs to be real change, the Tories will never change the power balance in society, never, all they stand for is more and more of the same.
Its a desperate last ditch attempt to garner support - a little bit unnecessarily unless she intends going to the polls again. I mean if she is trying to appeal to Brexit supporting Labour voters on the subject of Brexit she surely has their backing on that topic anyway.
Oh and @The perfect fumble stop calling out any dissenters to your view a tory, it doesn't help win the arguement, and gives them a reason to dismiss your points, we already know @Damocles ans & @blueinsa ain't gonna agree with you so better to try and convince them that Labour can win and be good for the nation, same goes other way, seems to be a core 6-8 on here not taking in each sides view anymore just entrenched in theor own pos.ition
You went a little backwards with this post.
She's taking her one nation Toryism out for a spin, why not? She's got nothing LEFT, it's not inconceivable that an election might well happen despite her best efforts, it's not inconceivable she might even take the Tories in to it, given the shambles on the right of her party, these are uncertain times.
She might be flirting with blairite MPs, she'd certainly love a high profile defection but maybe she thinks she has some breathing space to make mischief, you know left wing bogyman, anti-Semitism, unpatriotic, these are handy switches to flick in the interim between one major fuckup and the next.
I'm enjoying how much a comment phrased using ironic hyperbole has enraged fumble.
P.U.R.I.T.Y.T.E.S.T
Joining her seems a little like going backwards.
A little, just a little mate, it seems a little like going backwards for you, but it only seems that way, because as everyone knows, you're already there.
You're a little bit mental mate.
