Okay, so as most UK users will know Jeremy Corbyn was elected as leader of the Labour party last year. This happened because Ed Milliband reduced the membership fee to £3 and once Jeremy Corbyn was on the ballot (due to recieving sympathy votes from his own MP's as they knew he couldnt win) many thousands of Conservative voters and hard-left loons joined just to vote for Corbyn. Conservatives did so because he's so left wing that he's totally unelectable and therefore with him as leader the Conservatives will be guaranteed victory in the next general election.

Anyway, fast forward to now and over 80% of the labour parliamentary party have stated they have no confidence in Corbyn as their leader and there's going to be a leadership election between Corbyn and Owen Smith. They've increased the membership fee to vote in it to £25 in order to keep the riff raff and piss-takers from voting. For the past few days I've been seeing lefties on twitter try and rally their comrades to join and vote for Corbyn and I remember thinking how stupid and delusional they were, because if Corbyn does win then Labour are guaranteed to get demolished at the next general election and there could perhaps even be a party split between the hard-left Corbyn folk and the 'Blairites'.

Welp...I've just found out that my own sister is one of them. She joined the Labour party today for the £25 fee just to vote for Corbyn. 

I don't know what to say. I want to call her out but it's too cringeworthy and i'll just embarrass her and feel bad. In a way I'm glad because it means the Labour party is fucked, but I'm just so disappointed/ashamed that my sister is one of the dumbasses that's doing it. Can't believe I used to look up to her.

Just needed to get that off my chest.
