Not what you want, just your opinion of the reality of the situation, will he ever sit in the hot-seat?

I ask because it seems to me that his supporters are totally blind to the reality of the situation, like him or loath him, I can't see him ever leading the Labour Party (or any other party for that matter) to election victory.

 
Great ideals, but just not practical or popular in the UK today. Will never get enough votes for the Labour party, and could potentially destroy it.
 
LOL, I've read some bat-shit crazy stuff on this site recently, but this takes the biscuit.
 
Never mind him, his team simply aren't electable. John McDonell in charge of finances and Diane Abbott running homeland security. No thank you.

You see I totally agree Rob, not a cat's chance in hell (what exactly a cat's chances in hell actually are I'm not sure but apparently they are not good) but a freind of mine keeps posting positive stuff about him so I laid it out as I see it and about 5-6 of her freinds proceded to tell me how wrong I am but between them they could not make a single valid argument other than "it's the media's fault" or "the system is broken" without acknowledging or even realising, I think, that they were just strengthening my argument about him being unelectable regarldless of his actual politics. Oh, and apparently it's ok to be an IRA sympathiser because of Bloody Sunday.

 
His supporters are in complete denial about the impending decimation of the Labour party. In a months time are the County council elections, now Labour does not do very well in leafy parts of the world, so they have a ready made excuse for the poor results they will get, but they will be poor. It is the general election where the penny will drop, and in this time the ultra left wing group Momentum will have wormed itself into an even more powerful position in the party. Tom Watson, the deputy leader knows this and is extremely concerned about what is happening within the party. I have seen all this before in the 80's with Michael Foot, and it took Neil Kinnock years to get the party back on track.

The simple truth is that for the Labour party to get back in power they need to attract people like me, as they have before, but there is not a cat in hell's chance I would vote Labour at the moment, in fact I feel if they were to be elected the consequences for the country would be worse than any hard Brexit.
 
I really don't like Dianne Abbott, she doesn't listen to people and is far too smug and condescending for her own good. I don't like her comments about men and find her to be racist (or definitely prejudiced if you believe Marxist theory) and a misandrist.

How she's been able to continue as an MP without being sacked i do not know.

For this reason alone Corbyn won't get my vote whilst she's visible.

I do have some sympathy for Corbyn, i feel he's been given a raw deal but there just isn't anyone the Labour party i'd give my vote to (or any party at the moment actually). And i'd consider myself the type of person Labour would traditionally gets votes from.
 
I like Corbin but my only fear is he's to weak to stand up to the elite that run both parties. My vote would have been Robin Cook who left the party when we went into an illegal war. Next thing he's found dead up a mountain! 15 years later we realise he was right and the war was illegal and now the Middle East is compleatly fucked.
 
I would love to know who the person was who voted yes! Was it a piss take or a delusionist :14:

No way he is electable and will be P.M

People said the same about Trump

The only reason Trump got in was the Russians and that is all being investigated as we know
 
Come on that's debatable, there is no evidence. He got in because people wanted change and couldn't stand Hillary.

No it isn't debatable. It is all over the news about it. There is a some proof as it stands hence there wouldn't be investigations going on and people being called and removed from office and to the investigation

Also if it was The U.K it would have been Hillary in NOT Trump. US is a country that has a potty voting system where the popular vote doesn't win an election.

 
There is no proof Russia interfered with the election. Even if there was it would only counter balance the negativity he had from the mainstream media that supported Hillary. He got voted in against the odds because the people rightly or wrongly wanted change.
 
Clinton 65.9% million Trump 63 million in the popular vote. Trump in the popularity stakes now. His vote amongst white men who got him in is down from 58% to 47%. They didn't get the change they wanted cos he never was going to change much. Everything he slammed Clinton and Obama for he is now doing

They were foolish to think anything would change! There vote has made it worse

not necessarily for the UK
and the US system is reasonably fair in many ways

(also popular votes aren't always that popular amongst the losing side)
