Alistair Campbell has been expelled from the party for voting Liberal Democrats. What a petty cunt Corbyn is. 

It's an automatic rule that dates back to at least Blair's leadership.

The opening post of this thread, from 2010, has not aged well.

 

'The main parties will continue to get closer and closer...'

 

I mean they did, and then they got so close that everyone lost their shit :D

It's still a bit weird like. Are there exemptions for justified tactical voting? I'm sure there've been open "Labour voting Lib Dem to keep the Tories out" positions in by-elections before, say.

Not from party members there won't be. It's an instant ban.

 

Just to clarify, nobody actually knows how people vote. Corbyn himself could have voted Tory for all we know. The offence is publicly supporting another party - which includes telling everyone you voted for one.

Yeah, he did that reluctantly after being asked directly, after the election votes were known. I guess he should have just lied, like a normal politician then?

There was an interesting article earlier calling for a law that says there must be a GE within three months of a change in PM. Hard to argue with that idea.
