Kid Dynamite 7308 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Cabinet members spitting their dummies out and resigning already. Acceptance speech talking about welfare, housing and regugees, it's like citizen Kane is in charge.

With apologies to HF. Haha. No problem. I didn't even know the numbers till I came on here so I appreciate it. Wonder how many people like me there are 36 or under that have never voted labour before but would do gladly for the first time in their life. Mad, after 20 years as a voting age supporter of left wing, liberal policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 47003 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 This business about some labour MPs voting in favour of Syrian airstrikes as a slap in the face for Corbyn.

Howmanheyman 34415 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 They'll be worried of a syriza style swing to the left and will have their fourth estate bloodhounds on the loose. Yesterday's Sun had about five pages of Labour Party 'scandals' so they're already doing their bit for the blue cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4919 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 I do, the electorate is very savvy these days about the economy. As I've said before, I agree with a lot of what he says, but I would only consider voting for him if there were sound costed policies in place to deliver them without shafting the economy. Simply blustering about 100 odd billion mixing tax revenue won't cut it. At least he's got a bit of time to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Way to ignore the evidence that the majority do believe in exactly the same policies he espouses. Unsurprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22380 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Personally I think this is a disaster for the Labour party and by extension therefore the country. There is literally no chance of Corbyn ever being prime minister, none at all. He's just simply not credible, even without the right wing press, I'd personally struggle to vote for him myself. Unlike Foot, he's not even an intellectual heavy weight and for me is unimpressive in debates. This is a fucking stupid, insane protest vote that has ensured 10 more years of these Tory cunts at the helm. Don't kid yourselves otherwise and don't kid yourselves all parties are/were the same. It's a disaster for the public services and those that work in them or use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
