That is not the historic mandate of the Supporters' Trust and there is precious little evidence of a desire to take on and develop the original ideals.

I am not prepared to support the candidates who have aligned themselves to such change.

It reads as if there are issues with both the message AND how they went about it. I'd agree on the latter, but doing down the message seems silly.
