The way I see it, you should basically always vote in a general election for Labour or the Tories based on your overall political outlook, i.e. if you're a collectivist at heart, vote Labour; if you're an individualist, vote Tory. (Unless there is an exceptionally objectionable candidate selected in your constituency)And i wouldn't grudge you the decision to oppose them on those grounds.
But if local issues should be kept separate, then why have constituencies at all?
Charalambous is also a fan of the project, and basically told those with concerns to jog on. So he doesn't even have an out morally.
In terms of influencing where the party lies on the political spectrum and on local issues, it's best to vote in council elections, join the party and try to influence as best you can from within.
