Aye, the Times reckoned he was front runner in the polls, but then again we've had a very good demonstration lately of how reliable polls can be... :dead:

Never really rated Margaret Beckett all that much but her stock rating shot up when I read about this...

I'm applying government policies to my house. I'm going to cut my kids pocket money and pay myself more.

Jeremy Corbyn wins the leaders debate on LBC Radio and 9 out of 10 callers back him to the hilt.

He speaks common sense

He meets the people and talks with them not down at them

He has time for the voter and will win back votes that went to UKIP

He will restore faith in the labour party

^Just some of the comments from the general public


Now a bit of balance from the 1 out of 10

He will destroy the labour party

He is clueless

One caller suggested he will destroy the labour party which will be great as labour is a stinking right wing party and the result a true northern socialist labour party will rise from the ashes of the dead labour, just to add he was a labour member.


Well the publis like him but I see within labour the backlash against him is rising so his days on the stage could be drawing to a end.

Bloody calm down Tony or I've give thee a left hook. :har:

I can see the possibility of a split in the Labour party and a new party being formed similar to the SDP in the eighties.

Labour's John McDonnell opposing the government's proposed welfare bill

E. Pair of boxing gloves

The bulk of Labour voted in favour with the government on the welfare bill. Makes me wonder if that ex-labour guy on the radio is right about labour now being a right wing party. :hmmm:

This is how a friend sees the state of the party's.

Extreme Right wing
BNP 5/5
EDL 5/5

Right wing
UKIP 4/5
Conservative 3/5
Labour 2/5

Centre
?

Centre left
LibDems 2/5

Left wing
Greens 5/5

He rates it in a block of five how far the party's are in that block, he had the Conservatives on 4/5 until they went in favour of gay marriage.

He may have a point I too feel so far there is no party in the centre ground. :hmmm:

I'd have Labour more center since half the party is Blair Right, and the other half is Kinnock Left and both are pulling in seperate directions and tearing the party apart.

Think its possible that if Corbyn does get in, the Blairite group might splinter and form their own party? :hmmm:

I have been wondering if we will see a break away party from Labour as jim said we saw the SDP come about before it joined forces with the Liberals then as we know it went all the way to become the LibDems.

Just to add my mate dose change those figures every so often depending on the party's.

Too me looking at the big three you got coke, coke life, coke diet just nothing really to separate them.

Only the Greens seem to stand clear on Dr Pepper so to say. :)

Getting back to the labour leadership I picked up on this comment from the comments section on SKY.

And I have to say I agree with this, on saying that I don't think the new LibDems leader has it and when Cameron steps down nor do I see anyone in the Tories.

When Dave steps down the big shark in the water will be Boris, and God help us all if he gets a hold of Downing Street. :doh:

Possibly shipmate, from where I stand atm, all parties are a shower. If Boris gets in, if nothing else it will be entertaining. He will be undeniably outspoken, stupid, blonde (if not bald) and a complete twonk. Hmmm quite similar in all but policies to everyone I feel.
