Fucking embarrassing how little pressure it takes Labor to cave to literal Zionist Lobby pressure tactics that cost them far more in the US, breaking against their own longstanding laws and policy as the reporter points out.
Though I will say that they are helping me convert former Labor voters into future Greenies. So… not a total loss.
This excellent (as always) reporting from MWM is helping.

100%. The Labor party is beyond reform and people who identify as left-wing really ought to abandon it en masse for parties that actually represent their values.
There’s literally no downside to leaving the Labor party for another party.

That’s not going to happen in the general populace. The most likely outcome would be giving more room to scum like Liberals and especially One Nation to seize power and reign terror here at home.
Don’t pull an American Retardation.

Our voting system is nothing like the Americans. Hence people should abandon the Labor party and strengthen others by getting active there instead, all while preferercing Labor above the Liberals and One Nation.
Liberals and One Nation only have space because how pathetic the Labor Party is at providing a viable left-wing alternative that people are actually excited for. People are swayed by One Nation because they’re material conditions have worsened, which is the culmination of decades of neo-liberalism ushered in large part by the Labor Party.
I’ll say it again, left wing people should abandon the Labor party because it’s been going this way for decades.
Join a party who shares your values.
We don’t have first past the post, so your point makes no sense.
