But given that the hard left loonies, who voted for and continued to support Corbyn throughout, are probably still there, is it likely that a leader is elected who will actually be prepared, or even willing, to do that? Are we not living in times where getting elected is of secondary importance to rabid dogma?

Or hopefully a new paddling pool and ice maker with all these soft tissue injuries

Followed by a lot of back-tracking. I look forward to being able to back-track about Joelinton

Or perhaps just getting Rafa back, as he seemed to have no problems with staving away injuries

We've already got enough players who fall over for no good reason

Given that Corbyn was kept in place by those who are certain that he only lost because of the BBC and others, surely she is playing to the electorate she needs to vote for her.

Thank you, kind sir

I am pretty sure that Corbyn is an anti-globalist, but didn't want to say so, as with Brexit. From outside looking in, that was what made him unelectable. Whether he wanted to be elected is another matter, but no politician will willingly walk away from the kudos (and possibly the pay packet) which goes with being PM or leader of the opposition. Perhaps the stupidity came from those who blindly supported him when they should have pulled the plug. Anyway, I am 59 and live in Australia, so what do I know PS Even at that great age, I would not have voted for Brexit

I think it is probably a similar demographic, but let's see if PR works for you, if you get it.

We can only wish, but in that case I would expect him to take us all over the edge with him

From my experience in Australia, which has PR in the Senate, and which has just elected a right wing evangelical PM who won the unwinnable election against a deeply unpopular (with the people, but not with the unions) leader, PR results in pandering to the extremists, not cooperation in the middle.

Not sure that PR is the answer, because it can result in smaller single agenda "parties" carrying huge sway. In fact, it is more likely to get someone like Farage calling the shots, because you need to do a deal with him to get your legislation over the line, because you no longer hold a majority. It seems to give much more power to those on the far right or far left.

On the other hand, the more people see him, the less likely they are to vote for him.

Must be an alien who has not done her research on politicians first, clearly.
