    If Corbyn can make some radical changes then there is hope for Labour yet.

    Centre Left.

    He must make some brave and unpopular choices though, for the greater good.

    You maybe addressed them in your opinion but that doesn't mean you are correct, not that is really matters though, its because thats what Corbyn will take to the party IMO. Time will tell if you are right or I am.

    Aye those horrid 'blairites' that somehow managed to secure labour governments, that the highly 'principled' Corbyn worked with :smiley-laughing002:

    As I said before, all Corbyn is going to achieve is to split the labour party and destroy any chance they have in winning a GE in 4 years time. So the only party/s to benefit will be the tories followed by the lib dems. Lets hope its not UKIP that benefits from these un-xenophobic labour voters in the meantime either.

    I have recently became sympathetic towards Labour simply due to Corbyn, I can't see him surviving and influencing the overall party. If he does I will happily vote for them.

    Despite popular belief, it doesn't take much to "out left" the SNP.

    He seems to have the stomach for the fight. I hope he outlasts all of them, even if he needs to ultimately walk away and start again.
     
  7. Aye, Government by any means, eh? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to hear that from an SNP member considering the levels they stoop to in order to make the right connections and sway the right people.

    You are getting the hang of politics now I see :smiley-laughing002:
     
  9. People will eventually wake up to this.
     
  10. Hopefully.
     
  11. There is a long way back from this Corbyn fiasco now. The longer the cancer goes untreated the more harmful it becomes to the labour brand. Should they not list Corbyn, I fear for Labour's future.
     
  12. Angela Eagle steps down from the leadership race in order to give her support to Owen Smith. So much for her being her "own woman". :56::52:

    As a debutant in PMQ’s May should have just wanted it to be over as quickly as possible however, even with the ‘gift’ that is * johnstone , Jezza still got his * handed to him ffs. Tragic watching that.

    Maybe not that many,but didn't people pay £25 to be able to vote for her?
     
  15. No doubt a few people did. Diddled.

    Its bad enough that there is a challenge being made on the 'rights' of Corbyn being allowed to stand, without sufficient backing from his own MP's but this poll is a further boot in the stones also. Although that wont bother Mr Principles overly I suppose. It would be interesting to know what the sample amount was but still :56: :52:


    Millions Of Labour Voters Pick May Over Corbyn

    Sky News27 July 2016


    More than two and a half million people who voted Labour at the last election would choose Theresa May over Jeremy Corbyn to be Prime Minister, a new poll suggests.

    When asked which leader they would prefer to lead the country, 29% of Labour voters - equivalent to 2.7 million people - opted for the Conservative Party's new PM.

    The YouGov survey for The Times also found that Mrs May's government enjoys a 12-point lead over Labour in general.
    It is the biggest gap between the two parties in the six years since Labour fell from power in 2010.

    Adding to Mr Corbyn's woes is the finding that only 19% of all voters polled believe that the current Labour leader would make a better Prime Minister.

    The poll also indicated that Mrs May appears to be picking up some support from UKIP voters.

    The findings have been seized on by the Owen Smith Labour leadership campaign as proof the party message is not getting across to voters under Mr Corbyn.

    Mr Smith's campaign manager, Kate Green, told Sky News the fact Labour voters would rather have a Conservative Government was "very serious".
    She said: "That is a real failure of our party, a failure of our responsibility on behalf of the people that we aspire to represent.
    "We have to be, as the Labour Party, a credible party, hungry for government. We have to have a leader who can deliver that for us."

    The poll comes amid a High Court challenge that could result in Jeremy Corbyn being forced to seek the backing of MPs to stand in the leadership contest.

    Labour donor Michael Foster is claiming in the court that the party's rules were not properly applied when its governing body allowed Mr Corbyn to run for leadership without the backing of 51 of his MPs and MEPs.

    Earlier, an ICM poll suggested Labour is as far behind the Tories as it was when Margaret Thatcher won a landslide victory over Michael Foot in 1983.

  17. That's unbelievably bad. I think we're seeing the end of the Labour party as we know it now.

    Labour are *,they were already in trouble but Corbyn's Cult is killing them off!
     
  19. I hope Labour does spit into two, we need a real socialist labour not a party that continues to back stab each other, we even had the back bench of Labour booing their leader.
     
  20. I'm afraid labour will never return to the days when they represented the working class as I said before their priorities have gone in a different direction to that of working class labour.In other words they've stabbed us in the back too.:54:
