Nigel, the Conservatives are the governing party by a long shot. Their leadership election directly affects the lives of millions. The Labour Party does have problems and you will find that I, along with others, have railed against the leadership and faction divisions on many occasions. However, until we reach the point where Labour are in a position to make a difference, the current leadership election does warrant more attention than the alleged past misdeeds of the opposition party. Nothing to do with whataboutism. Just common sense.
