Who do you want to win Labour leadership?

Being centrist?

And of course thins works entirely under the assumption that Corbyn is still leader in 2020.

I have to say that the right-wingers in question here are being unbelievably short-sighted. It's possible that Labour under Corbyn would indeed be unelectable, but it's by no means certain. And, in the event that Corbyn somehow does become PM in 2020, it would be a disaster for everyone but most especially for those on the hard right who think they want to see Labour destroyed.

Hence why, if I'd bought myself a vote, it would have been for Liz Kendall. Of all the candidates on offer, she's the only one who could conceivably persuade me to vote Labour at any time in the next five years.

Why would you vote for a Tory-lite Labour when you can have the real thing? Kendall as leader will see Scotland exit the UK and Wales be tempted to follow.

Lol? Wales? The part of the country with next to no nationalist movement

Does that have anything to do with it??

Ed Balls is actually quite an intelligent chap. He was let down by consequence of being so closely associated with Milibland's unelectable ticket.

I voted for Yvette Cooper. I felt that she was the person most likely to unite the whole party and listen to throse who are from the left and from the centre. I think that she comes across well in interviews and I have been incredibly impressed by the way that she has been speaking during the current refugee crisis. I think that she has the ability to strongly challenge David Cameron in prime ministers question time as she comes across well when speaking in the HOC in a way that I don't think that Corbyn will.

I don't really like Corbyn to be honest. I like a good number of his policies especially his economic onces but I don't trust him as a person. I would much rather that if someone else from the left of the party had stood. I think that the way that he has conducted his campaign is going to mean that a good proportion of the party are going to struggle to unite behind him. There are also some of his fundamental policies when it comes to defence and foreign policy that I disagree with him in.

One thing that has concerned me a lot about this election is the intolerance of a lot of Corbyn supporters. I can definitely see why people would choose to vote for him and I would never say that someone shouldn't be in the Labour party for supporting him. However when I say that I am supporting Cooper I have been told a number of times that I should just go and vote Tory because that is what I effectively am. I support our NHS and feel that most if not all private companies with in it should leave, I feel that every child should have access to the same opportunities regardless of where they grow up or what their background is, I think that people who earn more money should pay more tax to support those who are struggling, I think that we should have a solid social security system that people can draw on when they can't work or can't find work. In my mind the Labour party is the the party that be represents me. I worry that I will not be welcome in a party lead by Corbyn which after over 10 years of being a member saddens me.

Even if Corbyn is good the press will make sure they finish him.

I really can't see how Labour get back in tbh
