As much as I detest Labour, I also hate the idea that another party might be able to stay in power simply because there's no credible opposition.

That idiot? Read this
Quote:
he has revealed himself to be a man without bravery, conviction or authority, totally unsuited for any kind of leadership. As Heseltine once said damningly of Neil Kinnock, he is “not just a windbag but also a windsock.”
One respected Labour moderate wrote of him yesterday: “If you asked him his favourite jam, he’d have two different flavours.”
The same pathetic vacillation was shown during the televised BBC leadership hustings last Sunday, when he was asked if he would have Corbyn in his Shadow Cabinet. With a straight face and no doubt eager to court the swelling vote of the Left, he said he was “open” to such an idea. Later his aides explained that this pledge had been “a joke”, though it has been hard for anyone to detect the humour behind it.
In the same spirit, he cannot see a bandwagon without climbing on board.
