Moderately extreme...
There's always a tension between what the Party members want, who MPs will support and what the electorate will vote for. (For Labour there's the added factor of what the unions will put up with).
It's not at all difficult to come up with a similar statement involving the Tories, the Press, the 'dark forces' of capitalism..etc. The major difference is that the Tories tend not to air their dirty linen quite so publicly, or continually apologise for so doing.
