  if purity is the reason you do nothing, instead of doing something, then you’re part of the problem.

  I’m always happy to talk about routes of how we get to a better place, but if you’re just wanting to argue then I’ll pass.

  So long as it fits your world view you mean; else it’s inflammatory language like I’m ‘doing nothing’ or I’m ‘Virtue signalling’ and being ‘part of the problem’, but of course, I’m the one looking to argue.

  I already established a very obvious talking point for a route to get to a better place, and it starts with the tribunal kier and his cronies refuse to have, but that talking point was brushed over rather than addressed so whilst your words fit the bill, your actions certainly do not.

  The one thing we can agree on is that this conversation is pointless. Our priorities clearly differ greatly, to the point where a separate party just makes sense. You can call it pissing in the wind, or a waste of a vote, doing nothing etc… but that’s exactly how I view voting for labour in the next election; they’re going to bleed votes to reform and SNP, and then you’ve got the left wing voters who want to see actual change, rather than this Tory lite approach to politics jumping ship too. The only people left will be the centrists; and that’s never going to win an election.
