ABOLISH TUITION FEES? vote Jeremy Corbyn for Labour Party leader!

Seriously, what does that have to do with anything? The Conservative Party likes to play tricks and in reality secretly a little scared. The small very British political revolution has swept Scotland and coming down south. They know they could not ride the popular movement without damaging their core voters and would gain no new supporters.

What socialist revolution are the SNP launching?

Why are you trying to hijack this thread?

An extraordinary political tale is unfolding in Britain: a little-known politician, relegated to the margins of his party for much of his career, is now the favourite to become leader of the Labour party, the second-largest party in Britain and the government’s main opposition, Jeremy Corbyn. His supporters are already being subjected to personal attacks in an attempt to undermine his Labour leadership campaign, but the more people who hear him the bigger his support.

One Week to go! Vote for Jeremy, Register here: http://www.labour.org.uk/w/labour-party-supporters

Jeremy Corbyn gives impassioned argument for Democratic Socialism.

Tuition fees abolished. A proper living wage. Tax avoidance and evasion stopped. House of Lords abolished. A million high skill apprenticeships.

Guys, putting in Corbyn as leader is the best way to ensure another Tory government. Rather have a Tory government than a centre-left Labour one? Fine by me. It's just that the people in this country who actually need a Labour Party to prevent their benefits being cut will be absolutely thrown under the bus purely for your 'principles'. Don't forget that a party can be of the centre-left and still be principled and can still be better than the Tories. If Tony Blair hadn't made the party electable, the minimum wage would have come in much later than it did, if at all. Jeremy Corbyn will ensure another loss for Labour in 2020 and mean that whatever principles his supporters like, he will be powerless to put them into place - what's that actually worth? He may be a strong and principled opposition, but he'll never change the country. A centrist Osborne government will trump a socialist Labour Party any day of the week - that's what Osborne's been trying to do by positioning himself in the centre; he wants the Labour party to put itself in an unelectable position and you're just doing the work for him.

Lord Kinnock puts it well:

In the leadership election, we are not choosing the chair of a discussion group who can preside over two years or more of fascinating debate while the Tories play hell with cuts in local services and public investment, extend injustice and flatlining incomes, sustain or worsen private debt, and deepen the balance-of-payments, productivity, housing and poverty deficits. We have to elect a leader capable of taking us to victory in the 2020 election and of being Labour prime minister.

@Reformed2010 : I'm disappointed that you've clearly given up on the Corbynmania is a joke thread and set up this one instead of carrying on our discussion.

P.S. Andy Burnham has the same policy as Corbyn to get rid of tuition fees and replace them with a progressive graduate tax. It all seems so fantastic: want to abolish tuition fees? Vote Corbyn! The trouble is, that's just not the truth. If Corbyn is elected leader, we'll have another Tory government and can be sure that student fees will not be abolished.

Fees will go up again under tories. I thinl the labour party should do crack jokes on osbourne and he would lose resoundingly. Kinnock would beat osbourn in my opinion making major btter then osborne

You think Labour would win another election by going centre-left.

Remind me again what platform Ed ran on in the last election? Centre-left was it?
