I met Tom Watson some time back whilst waiting for a train, had a good chat about gaming with him. Politics aside, he seems like a decent bloke.

He really isn't. At all. In any way.

If you support JC your not going to see him as far left. The issue now is for him to convince the public at large that he isn't just another Michael Foot.

No.
He is categorically not far left. He's centre-left. The whole point of the political spectrum is that it isn't subjective.

If Corbyn was PM, how many Syrian refugees do you think he would take in over 1 year?
Then get their constituencies to vote them out.
As someone who is clearly a Corbyn supporter, you don't really have respect for the democratic system we have in the UK.
If the Labour party wants they can kick them out of the party, but that doesn't stop them being an MP.
**** i'm tempted to vote for him if it means that shower of idiots step out of cabinet.

What summed it up for me was the chanting like a football crowd outside the meeting place. Instant dislike of the kinds of people he will attract....
Sounds a bit odd but I think a labour party could do with a female leader as they seem to be more about the people than the men in politics. Something different. He reminds me of Nigel Farage... again another dislike.
But I do hope he comes up with some good ideas. I've seen some of his policies and I'm a little unsure of him because labour used to be for the workers but he seems to be more to the right which makes him seem more like a Tory.... I dunno.
I don't like the idea of him scrapping the trident system either as we are at something of a precipice in Syria with Russia etc. You don't have to use them but if you have them it instantly protects you a bit from far worse.... prevention is better than cure.

Labour has chosen today to give the 2020 election to the Conservatives while they rebuild their shattered party, how they rebuild in the centre ground with a far left leader, I don't know.
I have more respect for Milliband as a leader of the opposition - and he was a complete plank.
He's a likeable politician alas with the policies that many won't like.

funny cause you do it all the time in threads about Muslims.
he doesn't really have any policies though he has "suggestions" and if people seem to like them they became "policies all along" and if not "they were just ideas"
