Now they argue over who should be allowed to vote.

A couple of more thousand votes to UKIP I should imagine.

Would they stomach the Donald?

Still there is the Green Party full of pot smoking tree hugging sex orgy supporters.

I would sooner vote for them than the dysfunctional Labour party at the moment.

A former head of the civil service has said the UK might remain in a "more loosely aligned" European Union, despite the referendum vote to leave.

I suspect this could be the case.

That would probably depend on the attitude of the EU and any changes they make, if any.

I see this Train Gate is dragging on and going in a new silly direction.

British tycoon Sir Richard Branson is a "tax exile" and should be stripped of his knighthood, shadow chancellor John McDonnell has suggested.

An analysis suggests plans to cut the Commons from 650 to 600 MPs will hit Labour harder than the Conservatives.

Please don't tell me the Tories are running scared of Labour as clearly this is not the case. Hiker May is looking at a good 100 majority in 2020 or are the Tories trying to slam in the final nail in Labour's coffin?

Precisely!!

Every home and business in the UK would have guaranteed access to high-speed broadband as part of a digital "bill of rights" proposed by Jeremy Corbyn.

Stealing that idea off Cameron.

Wonder if he would do the same as Cameron on that one, sod sweet all.

Corbyn can make as many grand promises as he likes because he knows he will never be in a position where he will have to deliver them.

Right at this moment in time I'd rather vote for Owen Smith.

More hints coming out of a major split when JC wins, why wait for the result? Seems pointless to me, get on with it and stop pussy footing around.

That is what ultimately will happen but I doubt many of the former Labour MP's would win their seats at the next general election under a different banner.
