Do these people believe in their own propaganda about how economy works that austerity-led growth is possible?
Is it that they don’t care about the party or their own reputation?
I hope Corbyn and the Greens don’t fall for the same fiscal responsibility nonsense. Never give the neoliberals an inch.
It’s not short-termist because it’s not an electoral project. It’s a project of state reformation by the deep-seated British establishment. No one running the project gives a shit if the Labour party even survives, never mind gets elected again, and in many ways the total collapse and destruction of the party may even be beneficial to them.
