Fair enough, I agree you cant make a decision now. It sounds as though you would consider Labour in the same way I mentioned the Tories / Reform coalition. However I woudnt take the piss out of you for saying you would consider voting for them based on the circus that they currently are.  So grow up a bit.

Circus, compared to the last 14 years this is a walk in the park.

Does it not bother you that over 20 people have come forward and given in depth accounts of his clear anti Semitic and racists remarks when he was a young man?

I beg to differ on your first point.

I haven't read the accounts of these people yet but these were nearly 50 years ago I believe. If these are true (and not politically motivated) I dont judge someone's character on what they did 50 years ago, especially when they were a teenager. In fact, I think it smacks of desperation to dig someone's character out based on when they were a teenager in the early 1970s!

If you were really genuinely worried about antisemitism you should definitely not vote for the Labour Party. As I am aware, they are the only party to be found to be institutionally antisemitic (within the last 5 years) by the EHRC. Does that bother you? I assume it must and therefore you wouldnt vote for them?
