That's true, but the fact that he's the minority leader helps. It's still individualism, but it's possible to point out that the party leadership is bad. That's not that far removed from saying "... and that's why we need to form a labor party"

Many, sadly, will think they can just change leadership and the Party will be fixed. I think continually pointing out the contradictions and agitating with these examples still helps. We can wear them down!

Yeah, I think focusing on the fact that there is a lot of historical precedent to go off is the best approach.
