He should have got it instead of his brother, he'd have put up a much better fight Reckon Ed Miliband would have a good chance now...

e2e4 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 If last time they changed it were any guide - the leader of the labour party weren't left-wing enough for its members. so unless they de-taxidermy Lenin. Wouldnt even guess. And Boris for the PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 This weekend, I've been angry at everyone, London remainers (London Stays protest? Oh fuck off) the Leave Boris brigade, who don't seem to have a clue what's happening. and angrier that people haven't seen this coming for a very long time. We are a country so split, we make The Jam reunion look likely. The seeds sown a long time ago. Anyway, now I can direct my anger at those Corbyn supporters who I got roundly slagged off by, told there was no 'middle way' for the party anymore, those who willfully ignored anything outside of metropolitan hubs where he drew support from, ensuring Labour failed to retain any grip on the so-called 'heartlands, under the misappropriated banner of progressives! Those people who are now saying, oh, perhaps we misjudged this....The party has become an un-electable mess., even dye-in the wool Tories recognize that an ineffectual opposition is no good for the country. Especially the moderates. So bye Corbyn, congratulations for trying to cover your dimness under principle. Sadly, I can't see anyone who can take the party forwards. And, sad to say, the same for the Tories. You though Cameron was right-wing, holy fuck, we are in for some very strange times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 You certainly didn't need to be Gore Vidal to predict this was going to end badly. No - but then I didn't expect the Labour establishment to hamstring him in the way that they have done. I'm sick of hearing people talking about what an 'honourable man' he is on one hand - while knifing him in the back with the other. I don't think he's ever really got going - and now never will do. What might have happened had the party backed him and had he had a clear run at it free of this referendum is open to debate. Having said that he has had a shocking campaign EU wise - was never vocal or vociferous enough - (probably because he didn't really believe what in what he was saying) - which negates the reasons why people wanted him as leader in the first place I suppose. I think he's in an untenable position now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 27, 2016 Author Site Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2016 Surely it is in the Tory's best interests to get a new leader sorted asap, if an election is to follow then it gives labour less chance to mount a challenge.

kent_white Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I do think it's arrogant and patronising when they say "he didn't get the Labour vote out" Me too. I'm a Labour voter but I was ambivalent throughout - in the end I voted remain because I considered that on balance the possible rewards weren't worth the possible risks. While I might have listened to JC in the context of the rest of the debate and I think he could have argued the case much more passionately (had he genuinely believed in it) - it's not like people were sat out there eagerly awaiting him to tell them which way to vote. If one thing is clear from the outcome of the referendum it's that party politics largely went out of the window as far as voting patterns were concerned.

darwen_white Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm not sure what was expected of Corbyn during the referendum. He couldn't argue from a financial point as Labour always end up wrecking the economy. He couldn't say much on immigration as his policy is open doors. The only thing he could come up with the bull shit about the Brussels giving workers rights and paid holidays when we had these long before the EU. He did all he could by keeping quiet.

stevieb Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Good that party politics went out the window. I hope it helps people put some thought into their next vote in an election, get rid of the 'I vote labour coz my dad did' brigade and the staunch tories. Should be very interesting.

darwen_white Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Benn ruled himself out on Andrew Marr, Sunday. A general election this year will finish Labour in England like it did in Scotland. If I was a betting man, I'd have a tenner on Corbyn being their last ever leader... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
