It's OK - it's a win-win.
The Corbynistas are happy because, well, they've got the bloke they'd never actually heard of until some Labour MPs got him onto the leadership ballot in order for there to be a choice as to the direction the Labour party took.
The centre-left are happy because they've got what I think we should now call New Tory. Cameron is the new Blair and they all loved Blair. Well, until they pretended they didn't ever really love Blair anyway.
The Tories are happy because it's now just a walk in the park on a beautiful Summer's day. Every day. For years and years.
The only ones who might feel a little bit unhappy with their lot are those on the righter outskirts of the Conservative party. But they'll probably cope.
Pure joy. A smug Etonian and boarding school clique lording it over the masses for the next few years, what on earth could go wrong?
Fully agree. The current system is based on spin over performance.
have to agree with you here
In politics there is far too much spin…"getting people on message"..,and media photo op control/handling by "advisers"
The new bloke(Corbyn) is indeed a breath of fresh air when he says he is his own man and wont ever be manipulated or play along with this sort of rubbish that the public can see straight through

Can't help but notice how young his entourage ion that photo are. Who the hell are they?
I think it's S Club 7 on their reunion tour.
i guess you will have to wait and see what could go wrong
the first chance of a change from the tories is 2025 at the earliest ......plenty of time for you to assess and contemplate Tory rule
While contemplating Tory rule, I came across this interesting article about how in recent years the Tory party has changed into being an elite club for Eton and other public school cronies. Not since the 1950's have so many of this ilk dominated positions of power in government. John Major, the well known radical and Labour supporter voices his disquiet on how the party has shifted from a state educated to an Eton elite position.

Further proof that the caring Eton elite are winning the 'assault on poverty'. Tally Ho. Trebles all round in the Bullingdon club.Plus the truth coming out about the real effects of the Tories Tax Credit cuts - an extra 200,000 households (so maybe half a million children?) into poverty by 2020. This comes from the Resolution Foundation, chaired by former Tory minister David Willetts. My jokey post earlier about Cameron not believing there's enough poverty seems to be accurate.

Does this make Boris a terrorist sympathiser?

I agree he is a breath of fresh air but that too has to be backed up by decent policy. Sadly my disillusionment with party politics is deep rooted and bipartisan.

No,no,no buzzer , you've got it all wrong, he was ''trying to understand'' the PIRA thats why he met them , just like he did the UVF and UDA, oh, wait a minute.........No because Boris didn't observe a minute's silence for dead terrorists and he's quite open in condemning terrorist activity. Corbyn takes a different view with the IRA:
