There’s this bit in the Indian epic poem the Mahabharata where the hero, Yudhishtira, is gambling away his family’s kingdom. He knows what’s happening, he knows he should stop and he also knows that he just can’t stop. The Labour party right now reminds me of Yudhishtira: compelled, for reasons neither they nor anyone else understand, to embark on a path of self-destruction.
So Labour will lurch to the left now, to ‘win back Green voters’, right?
…Right?
You’re right… it’ll be… Right.
