perhaps he could take votes back from the Ukip, i think a lot of people voted Ukip just because there was not a better choice :suspect:

 

Maybe. I think a swing to the right or centre would be disastrous now. You can't out conservative the conservatives.

 

I'd rather have a right wing party in power than a wishy washy centre party.

Labour are not Labour, in name only...would you call them Labour when they are very similar to the Tories?

high taxes on business and the rich, public ownership of the railways and essential utilities, strict regulation of markets, the abolition of tuition fees, a benign, non-interventionist foreign policy

For most unions its free to vote if affiliated, if not then you can sign up and pay £3 to vote...

One word of caution, when voting, do not pick a second choice option, if its tied, they will count your second choice, so Pick Corbyn first, and leave second choice blank...

Dream on! Politics isn't about following any "pure" path. Compromise is essential. The name of the game is finding common cause with as many people as possible. The Labour party didn't find common cause with enough voters and many defected to the tories - the "blue collar conservatives".

 

Whereas I'd never vote tory, the Labour party will be in danger of losing my vote if they seek to find a niche position from which they attack the rest of society for personal advantage.

 

I don't see Corbyn as the compromise candidate (although I respect his integrity). If the Labour party is going to stand any chance in 2020 then whoever is the next leader has a lot of bridge building to do. If the labour party can't bring themselves together, how are they going to bring the country together?

No matter which way Liebour swing, they are a party of the past, devoid of any further use to the electorate.
