    Sarah Montague just asked if Corbyn could win an election. Diane Abbott told her she was being Westminster-centric.

        but that implies you are more interested in results than ideological purity. A sure sign of moral corruption

        Politics is about compromise not ideological purity. That way lies irrelevance. It's not a fucking commune

        Exactly. ideological purity is self defeating. Reality doesn't work that way, imperfect choices must be made.

        @AlexanderGardin The problem is politics *is* about winning elections. A stupid 2-party zero sum game out of the C18th.

        @johnmcternan Arguably that's true although "all about" might be more accurate. In that case though, why not join The SWP?
