My generation has grown up vigorously and tirelessly believing in the political and moral code of social equality. Since childhood, the left has told us that the well-being of the poor and working class was paramount, not only because they are most likely to be abused by the political system but because their growth and empowerment can only be good for the country as a whole.

And yet, the very party that ingrained this idealogy in the young has betrayed it, time and time again.

This is not a petition about the EU. This is a petition against neoliberalism. This is a protest against champagne socialism, the Blarite mandate, the slow migration to the center the left has been making and, most of all, against the tired, weak excuse of pragmatism. My generation is sick of being told that our morality and our political ideology isn't realistic by the very people that engendered those beliefs to begin with, and who also have the power to fight for them. Those of us who were not too disillusioned by this to vote did vote, repeatedly, for the lesser of two evils. That is not what we want our party to be.

We do not want a party that "more left wing" than the alternative. We want what we believe in. We are terrified that the left will continue to become more centrist until we have nothing left to vote for. The response to these troubling times is not to appease those who would never vote for you to begin with, but to capture the dormant enthusiasm of the young and inspire those who have long since lost faith in your system.

If Corbyn is kicked or forced to resign from the Labour Party, we will not be supporting them any longer. We will instead vote for whoever Corbyn aligns himself with, SO LONG AS he is given a position of considerable impact. Whether this be the Green Party or any other body, they will have our vote so long as they represent the true spirit of social progress.

We believe in a strong Labour party - but will not vote for a ruse. Corbyn represents exactly what the party should stand for. A labour party under any other authority is a lie, and we are tired of supporting the silhouette of our ideals. If Corbyn is ousted, Labour will have proven it is not a party of the people, and we will no longer support a cowardly sham.
