Jeremy Corbyn.

I'd never really thought of this but I'll certainly now add the NHS to my list of German success stories. I'll file it between Mini Cooper and Rolls Royce.

Good stuff..............if you are filling it under N, it can be slipped in just before the file on "National Socialism".

Personally I would file it under "Health" which will be just before your files on "Holocaust".

Choices..................

See if you can post on here for a WHOLE DAY without mentioning Nazis.

It will be somewhere between B (best economy in Europe) and W (World Champions). I'll file your post under T for Tedious backward thinking.

At least we'll see what will happen when a politician that speaks from the heart and for the majority of people gets some power. No wonder the Tories are worried.

who's that then?

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Keep hoping.

With Gideon as leader, the Tories will have no chance of a majority in 2020.

If Cameron can win a majority, then why not George?

Do you really believe that TWO MILLION voters will switch from blue to red in 2020 if Corbyn was the leader? The middle class voter decided the election, would those earning £26,000 (average UK earning) really be prepared to support him in such large numbers?

Blair managed this because enough Labour activists saw the futility of permanent opposition.

Blair was also helped the fall out from Black Wednesday and a succession of unelectable Conservative parties under IDS, Hague and Howard.

Worldwide we are seeing a huge shift in public opinion towards socialism.

Ahem, the UK General Election Result in May this year?

Ahem, the UK General Election Result in May this year?

And Republican success in the Mid-term.
How about FN in France, which continues to go from strength to strength.
Denmark last month where the Euroscpetic Danish People's Party went into a power sharing agreement with the centre-right Social Democrats who defeated the left-wing Government.
Possibly the near supermajorities of the Conservative Fidez in Hungary just last year make you think otherwise (this is without mentioning the 28 seats far right Jobbik won)
What about Australia with Tony Abbot's coalition success - a natural conservative.
The Japanese Diet is dominated by Liberals.

But I suppose there is a huge wave of socialism

The Tories are guaranteed to win in 2020 with Boris as leader

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

The Tories are guaranteed to win in 2020 with Boris as leader

Even you as Tory leader would beat Corbyn

 

[knocky1]

The Tories are guaranteed to win in 2020 with Boris as leader

Standing by that, if the Tories lose the vote, they will create a Dictatorship under the guarantee. Commie sounding Boris the Dictator. Posh sounding Jeremy would be a deposed socialist. Otherwise we have the right to have 5 more years of the same.

A guarantee on a dodgy product is not always worth having.

I'm not a typical Labour supporter but that's mainly because I don't vote Labour. I simply like Corbyn as I believe him to be an honest and principled politician, which is something of a rarity in this day and age. My only hope is that if, and that's a big if, Corbyn was elected Labour leader is that he'd take it to the Tories in the next election. Tories may scoff at this notion but after five years of being royally screwed over by the ones with blue ties the average Joe may See Corbyn as someone who actually gives a toss about them, unlike the Tories who continue to look after those who have the means to look after themselves.

My point was that you sound like the typical supporter who would prefer permanent opposition to being in government. If you are not a Labour supporter, then Greens, Lib Dems, UKIP, whatever, but not a party that has a serious chance to get in to change things. Yes, FPP is unfair, but we have to vote using this system, and in England the only serious oppo to Conservative presently is Labour. Where you and others on this thread fall down is showing zero respect for Conservative voters. They may just be folk who are wise enough to see that the best chance for economic growth and stability lies not with Labour. And even if they are not, if they are all numpties sleepwalking their way to a destiny with food banks, then at least respect the fact that the best way to persuade them otherwise is to take a deep breath, swallow some pride, avoid condescension, and use reason rather than assuming they are stupid.

If just talking will stop him beheading people why would you NOT do it?

Thats the easy bit, obviously all agree...but becoming an MP like Adams/McGuiness ?

 

[The Merry Prankster]

If Corbyn wins the leadership race it will ensure 10 years in the wilderness politically for the Labour Party

It may do but at least I'll have someone to vote for.

Shirley there are a few looney left candidates that you could vote for other than those standing for Labour?

Cutting services by 40% seems rather looney to me.

Agreed. But factually incorrect
