If the right of the Labour Party were forced to break off into the wrong party no one would ever vote for them. They don’t offer anyone anything, if you’re that way politically inclined you’re just going to vote for the conservatives, or reform these days.
There has been this constant fear from various party leaders over the years that if they actually cut out the right of the party they would somehow lose votes, but I honestly don’t think they would.

Literally since day 1.
This has always been the tension between the wider labour movement - which by definition must always be advocating for more than is currently acceptable - and the party, which must present itself as a balance.
