• He supports a publicly run NHS, a position supported by 84% of the public.

• He supports the nationalisation of the railways, a position backed by 66% of the public.

• He supports the nationalisation of the energy companies, a position supported by 68% of the public.

• He believes the Royal Mail should be publicly owned, a position supported by 67% of the public.

• He supports rent controls, a position supported by 60% of the public.

• He has long pushed for the withdrawal of British troops from Afghanistan, a position favoured by 82% of the public. he will Make Labour Back to Labour. Vote jeremy

 

.....and no clue as to how it will be actually paid for.

 

You can say anything you like when you are in opposition. Its easy.

 

Bit harder when you actually are in power and have to deliver it. Even harder when you no longer have the sole support of your sheepy followers and the militant unions. Try showing the centre ground and high earners that re-nationalisation is the answer. Payment by magic beans and fairy dust is not very convincing.

It will be the young and naïve who vote for him. Those who have little life experience. Oh and the old dinosaurs of the labour left particularly in the PRSY. It is concerning.

Looks like the possibility of Labour getting in at the next General Election has diminished now Jeremy Corbyn has been elected leader of the Labour Party.

i have little doubt that corbyn will increase the labour vote in labour held seats that they have controlled for years. i think that will be scant compensation for the hundreds of thousands of votes they will lose in the marginals that they don't.

I bet the Tories can't believe their luck?
