The labour Leader thread...

I'm a Labour man but I don't want Corbyn as leader. I hate the way these hard left socialists attack anyone and everyone who does not agree with Corbyn as if they were Tories and not fellow Labour supporters.

I don't want to be apart of all that.

you mean like how new labour is attacking anyone who isnt new labour :p
 
Corbyn effect in play, fully expecting even better tomorrow. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get 60%+ of the vote.
 
Shocking indictment on the state of our country if a Hezbollah and Hamas supporting communist who openly supported attacks on British troops is the next leader of the opposition.

uh-huh.... I think your statement cherry picks somewhat
'democracy' voted in George W Bush
don't make me quote Churchill at you

Benevolent dictatorship for the win ;)
 
Still the same Labour opposition MPs. Nothing changes to the next election.

And if he stays as unpopular with the actual party as he currently is, the labour mp's may deviate from the party whip... Splitting the vote.

Although the smell of power will turn peoples minds reasonably quickly if they can be bought for a chance in the shadow cabinet. Kendells acknowledgment and softening to JCs change preresult may net her a sympathy position.
 
My vote will be for Jeremy Corbyn and I actively support him. He will be the best thing that will happen to the tories as he will be the reason we will never see a labour government in power again lol
 
Can we say Ed Miliband will be looked on by historians as the man who single handily took the labour party out for them never to return again.
 
So.. from where I sit this went like:
1. Party has no clue to policies
2. Party has no who or how to get to a position of policies
3. Someone decided F-that, I'm going todo it myself - creates random set of policies that sound good in soundbites.
4. General fall out of policy making infrastructure that no have the additional problem of not have a concise voting (yes or no) but instead have to defend their gravy train jobs by voting tactically..

Now this is how I expect it to go down...
5. Vote occurs - F-it ideological monkey gets voted in although there's lots of disbelief and a majority so small it's because someone didn't make it back from lunch at a posh restaurant fast enough due to traffic.

6. Monkey gets helm, makes lots of press comments about new policies.
7. Gravy train then see their jobs at risk, big plotting..

Now depending on severity one of the following options could occur:
8a. Monkey finds all policies blocked by gravy train. Labour lose heavily and a confidence vote removes monkey with all the blame. By this time gravy train has found new champion of the cause. Posh lunches all around, champers on the House and everyone happy in a job well done.

8b.Monkey implements all policies, the gravy train repositions themselves out of the lime light, labour lose, mass cuss of monkeys, mass rethink committee chaired by gravy train and a couple of favourite options (all gravy friendly) appear.. one gets elected the other makes the more profitable book deal.

9. Business as usual as everyone realises nothing changes, there is no additional money to make any new policies on the first election term, so blame opposition.


So from this you can probably ascertain that I don't think there's any practical leader that is making both sense and a passioned vision statement.
 
Corbyn is what's needed as a caretaker leader to extinguish the remnants of New Labour and after the next election they'll hopefully be MP's of age/experience to properly re-establish the party with a common vision and purpose. Dinosaurs like Cooper and inepts like Burnham need to be swept away once and for all. Embarrassing reminders of the past.

Tories will win again next time easily but next time maybe not if Labour get their act together.
