any drippy eulogy you write that doesn't emphasise his complicity in some of the worst atrocities in decades is worthless and useless to everyone and you should cram the sentimentality over the old racist up your own arse.

Personally? I voted for Plaid, and I got the outcome I wanted there.
But ultimately, nobody asked you to dismiss the concerns folks (rightly) had. Would be one thing to hold your nose. Another to be so loudly incorrect about things that now materially affect many, including those you lectured.

It is very interesting.
It's probably because I wasn't the one lecturing the prescient folks warning of this eventuality about pragmatism.
The amount of good done is about equal. I wasn't the one trying to condescend folks into voting for Farage-lite, though, so maybe my "bad" column is clearer.

"Imperfection" certainly is one way to describe it.
That is fine. You can content yourself with having papered over all of the warnings, and I will content myself with pointing that out.
In the end, the good we actually achieved with those actions is about equal.
