Belief in your own values

The Labour Party here in the UK are undergoing a leadership election. The incumbent, Jeremy Corbyn has lost the confidence of his Parliamentary MPs but he has kept going despite widespread resignations from his shadow cabinet. 

Under most circumstances most of us would not have the confidence to keep going and do what most of the MPs want and resign. However, Corbyn has the support of many Labour supporters in the country, although it is unlikely he presuade enough of the electorate to vote for Labour if there were a General Election.

Corbyn keeps going, and has some fanatical support from rank and file members because he is seen as someone with integrity and as a man who stick to his values.

And sometimes we must stick to our values even when we don't have the support of our colleagues.

Cheers
