Here is a long interview with Melanie Phillips on why she left the left. It confirms what I’ve been noticing, that people leave the left not because they have been persuaded by right-wing rhetoric, but because they have become dissatisfied with the left.

Are people not allowed to point out the many problems relating to the left...? You do it 24/7 no one is stoping you. And if you are wrong on that what else might you be wrong about... Fundamentalism is not healthy, please stop misinforming. Your ideas about the left and right are poorly informed.

What? A lot of people will stop you. You get censored all over the place. That's why saidit was founded in the first place.
