Labour are meant to be a party who seek to govern not a pressure group. The fringe parties are better places to promote radical ideas.
What really is the point of Labour if they don't want to win elections? You can talk about finally having a choice but if a party has no chance of winning an election then there isn't really a choice...

And having Tony or Dave was a choice, copying someone else to a degree where you can't tell them apart isn't a choice either

Given how he keeps being described as a serious threat to Britain wouldn't it be advisable to keep him well away from sensitive information or launch a drone against him in the same way we did those isis brits who were also a serious threat
