Corbyn loses Vote

In 1997 Labour led by Blair virtually wiped out the Tories in the general election who didn't even win a single seat outside of England. Corbyn lives in a London bubble and simply can't connect with the Labour heartlands who are turning to UKIP.

If we're lucky we'd end up with a Tory majority or if we're unlucky it'd be a Tory and UKIP coalition.

Who will be the tory PM ? What do you think?

I think Boris, I'm hoping for anyone but Boris.

ah what about May?

If there were an alternative to Mr. Corbyn who could continue on the work that John McDonnell has been doing with the world's top economists - an invest-to-grow economic strategy that provides a positive and sensible alternative to the Conservatives' austerity agenda, and called for by both the IMF and the OECD, then I would consider supporting that alternative. More McDonnell's eminently sensible Fiscal Rule, less Osborne's very silly and very arbitrary budget surplus target (which people like Liz Kendall would have supported).

There would be other conditions: they'd have to support taking the railways into public ownership; they'd have to give assurances that they won't yet again get into a competition with the Conservatives over who can bash immigrants and welfare claimants the most; they'd have to support democracy in the workplace and workers' co-operatives; they'd have to be highly sceptical of military interventions.

If there's a candidate out there who can meet those conditions, I would support them.

Corbyn has to be on the ballot for this to happen, though, which is why a leadership election is the best outcome now. I highly doubt that the Parliamentary Labour Party will find a candidate who would meet members' approval (i.e. meeting many if not all of the above conditions), particularly as they've reverted back to their sneering, negative campaigning instead of actually working on finding a positive alternative to Jeremy Corbyn. But, if they do, I would give them my support.

Not much of an opinion on her tbh.

Yeah. MacDonald has grown into his role much better than Corbyn has.

Yeah he does have a good reason to resign, his leadership was tested in the Eu referendum and he failed, Labour heartlands votes leave and he was completely detached and lacked passion throughout the campaign. MP's in their professional opinion cannot see him winning an election nor can senior Labour people like Alistair Campbell. Corbyn is making the party more divided by staying. They need a leader who can unite them and that's not Corbyn, you know that! But it's not like the other options are great for leadership either if I'm honest.

I can't stand Corbyn but I actually don't mind John McDonnell. He's obviously significantly more intelligent than Corbyn, much shrewder. I think he should have a shadow cabinet position when the new leader is elected.

Ah ok what are your opinions of Cameron?

Not bad by Tory standards.

Why what are you suggesting? Please be clear, thanks

His party is responsible , the stupid MPs resigning who then complain, Corbyn isn't. These MPs have caused all these problems.

You can support Remain and still support Corbyn even if he secretly wants to leave, who cares. He is a great person who I think will help our country. He will help people who are less fortunate in our society and that is what matters.
