The perfect summation occurred to me during a branch meeting on the general election. There will be a swing back to Labour, as the default anti-tory vote, even for people with absolutely no illusions in the party. It will not be enough as many, many 'natural' supporters of the Labour Party abstain or search for a left alternative to support.
Neither point of view is illegitmate or wrong (in the immediate sense). The common between the people who will support Labour to stop the Tories and the people who'll never support Labour again, as they are as good as Tories is... dun, dun, duh, they hate the Tories.
Anti-Toryism is the general political cutting edge...
If only I'd thought of it at the time.
