What is more electable than Jeremy Corbyn?

[Moshe Gariani]

[/B]and this gibberish is in response to me pointing out that the worry about Corbyn is not fear of the unknown, as you suggest, as Eastern European experience from 1949 to 1989 provides those, who wish to learn from history, all they need to know about what happens with his policies are put into practice.

Are you suggesting that nobody in the current Labour leadership has learned anything from history and that they are committed to enacting old fashioned economic policies that don't work very well...?

Things went wrong in some countries with extreme socialist/communist governments in the last century. So what? A hell of a lot is currently desperately wrong in countries with right wing governments.

All of this talk of extremes is completely missing the point. A Labour governed Britain in 2020 will have nothing in common with the "Eastern European experience from 1949 -1989" or "Maoist China". Labour economic policies, as described by John McDonnell, are perfectly modern and fit for purpose.

Yes, that is exactly what I am suggesting! Of course things went wrong with governments of all persuasions, but does that mean we should repeat the errors?! I like the way you say -"so what" -millions of folk who lived under communism would not dismiss this as casually as you do. I see that Mr Mcdonnell has persuaded you with his nice pleasant grin and assertion that he was only joking. And Corbyn's idea of nationalisation has nothing to do with the eastern European experience? -you cannot surely be that naïve . .can you?

That is all you have, isn't it...? Ignore all the evidence and just keep asserting that Corbyn and McDonnell are communist loonies, who have never outgrown their 5th form politics classroom views, and they are hellbent on leading this country into the 1950s Eastern Bloc...

Nationalised railway lines are a perfectly sensible proposition that work in many modern countries. A wider "entrepreneurial state" that stimulates and invests and seeks to benefit people in Britain by promoting the building of infrastructure we desperately need also seems like quite a decent idea.

Are you actually watching the Labour Conference?

Nice one NSC Blue Brigade.

Keep up the personality based sneering. And remember to always back it up with a sweepingly misinformed generalisation that completely fails to address ANYTHING that is morally or economically wrong with Labour's socialist agenda.

It really does you all a lot of credit...

Oh dear, the po-faced hard Leftie brigade showing their lack of humour ,as usual.
They just don't like it up 'em.

yet another glib remark about someone you don't even know thats me or him
did you know that dave was going to give up the ghost and run away afer the referrendum (something I might say I was prdicting for months before it even happened)
the tories favourite trick .............leaving someone else to pick up the bits

Hmm; have to say that it is the Tories who usually have to 'pick up the bits' when Labour have spent all the money.

first you need to know the difference between a communist and a socialist

[Triggaaar]

So if Corbyn is really as unelectable as you right wingers keep claiming, why keep banging on about it instead of just ignoring him as the irrelevance you claim him and his ideology to be?

I don't speak for anyone else, but I'd like a decent opposition, so the current government can't get away with murder.

Thanks Hugo Chavez for showing that the poor matter and wealth can be shared. He made massive contributions to Venezuela & a very wide world

Sadly, very little when it comes to economic competence?

 

[Hampster Gull]

its called fear,fear of the unknown

Unknown? No, we have seen it in the 70s and its very ugly

you could say that about any right wing leaning government or any government come to that

 

[Soulman]

Unknown? No, we have seen it in the 70s and its very ugly

Yep.

 

[glasfryn]

Unknown? No, we have seen it in the 70s and its very ugly

and the thatcher years were also extremely ugly ...............it is all a matter of opinion

the thatcher years were an inevitable (and painful for many) reaction to the dire leadership of the 70s
