It is precisely as important because I value my vote and I decide to whom I give it, and because they need to know why they have my vote or not. The article is 632 words long.
@frankPodmore Unfortunately the pay wall prevents others from seeing this. I've read the entire article via the link given and it doesn't address several of my points, so I'm not clear which policy positions you're referring to.
In fact the opening paragraph agrees with me:
"It has been said that in sidelining the Labour party’s Corbynite left wing and manoeuvring it towards the centre, Sir Keir Starmer has made the UK opposition barely distinguishable in tone from the governing Conservatives."
@frankPodmore My characterisation is broad and lacking detail, mostly for word count. There are other policies I've not detailed either.
As I've said elsewhere, my voicing my opinion to Labour and other left parties is as important as my vote.
@solivine Agreed, but I'd caveat that there are policies that I may find worthy of my vote, it's just that there are many red lines and more that I've spelt out, that I don't wish to cross.

Under FPTP, not in my area, however...

@snacks
I think it's important for me as the OP to point out that telling Labour they've lost my vote is as important as my vote.
If there's a lack of push-back from the left regarding Labour's movement right, then they will assume this is what the voting public want.
I'm certain there are others that share at least some of my views on this.
A this late stage, the LibDems or Greens can't make a push to win.
I also cc'd my local LibDems and Greens in the same email re: a coalition strategy.
