Locals shuffle in chapel gloom,
grim feet thumping earth in spiteful raindance prayer—

Labourism as a political culture is more akin to a religion than a political party. The tories ( most other parties) view the party instrumentally, as a means to an end, a route to power & that’s it. When that fails, they leave. Labourists love the party itself-utterly surreal
