What I don’t get about the ‘I’m leaving Labour because its current leadership doesn’t represent me any more” people is this: if Corbyn had ever taken that attitude, then you’d never have ended up joining in the first place. How do you square that paradox?...

I’m sure there are people following this path who have sound reasons. But I worry that it seems to express a passive, ahistorical, consumerist, retail understanding of politics. The Labour brand identity no longer matches yours: time to shop elsewhere...

So far the replies are roughly:
-40% ‘I didn’t understand what Labour was when I joined but now I do’ (regrettable but fair)
-10% ‘Corbynism was an experiment whose results disproved its hypothesis’ (disagree but fair),
-50% “politics for me is really just about self-expression”.
