Condemn it then. Don't be a massive hypocrite and not condemn FSP because you agree with it.
Lets face facts. It's only FSP when its pro Tory / anti Labour.
Condemn it as FSP.
Its all Football Supporter Politics, all of it - the people at the top of the tree rely on you supporters to keep waving the flags, wearing the party ties and rosettes, all over the world political party's rely on selling you a glossy product that ultimately has little substance which you will toe the line with and follow without question.
There is good in all political systems, there is good in communism, there is good in right wing dictatorships like the venerable Pinochet, or indeed a Republican American government where you all stand on your own two feet and if you haven't got two feet then you stand on what you have.
The secret is to cherry pick the good bits and throw away the bad bits, unfortunately that not how politics work right across the globe for if we were able to vote for individual policies rather than the party then the party would cease to have a reason to exist - if we voted for an MP who would best represent us and our constituency needs and that MP was allowed to vote on issues according to his constituents requests then the party would cease to be required.
Hence the need for you to keep the tie, and the scarf and the rosette and to keep waving them at every opportunity, keep repeating the mantra, keep demonising the parts of society that are used as this years distractions, toe the party line and shout louder than your opponent - but don't ever, EVER let common sense into a line of thinking - you follow the leader and when the leader says dance you dance ...
