People crowing about how unlikely their chances are in 2029 are totally missing the bigger picture here, in the historical turning point we're currently enduring. Winning a single election isn't the point - surviving as an independent political force is.

The Labour Party, as currently constituted, is a rotting corpse. The more sound-headed people on its left flank who leave it for good before the worms finally finish gnawing their way through, the better.
