Of course, if the Labour party sees it as not being in its interests to govern, then that's fine, but they can't really expect me to vote for it on that basis!
If you and all the other people like you HAD voted for them, they wouldn't have been in the position of needing a less-than-stable coalition, squeaking through on rather low numbers! Your question was whether you should never vote for them in the future, because they'd thrown their toys out of the pram etc.
And I still think it's unfair, because the party didn't see it as not being in their interests to govern before getting this pretty awful election result, and presumably plan to regroup and come back in stronger position next election. It's probably too much to hope for that stronger position being a real Labour one, but who knows.
