Goozay Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Part of the reason for Corbyn's success so far is that he isn't in the Cameron-Clegg-Milliband -Osborne mold that folk have come to expect and mistrust about our political leaders. Because he came through the old school route of union rep then local councillor before becoming an MP it means he didn't study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford, he never worked as a Special Advisor and because he's never held a New Labour cabinet or shadow cabinet post he hasn't been diluted by the party's spin doctors.

The New Labour Blairites in the party must be frantically scurrying around at the moment unable to understand what's happening or who to blame.

Orraloon Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I have joined. I'm voting for the Tory candidate, not sure which one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyTJS Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 He is far & away the only candidate who is really setting his stall out to fight the Tories rather than just occupy their territory, but sadly I think intelligent left wingers tend to get destroyed by the media. I know there isn't much sympathy on here but the party really has to decide now if it wants to try & change people's minds & win the big arguments or just move to where people's minds are. Wise words from page 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunnered Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 So, my wife gets a vote through her union. Who should she vote for, from the perspective of helping the Scottish independence movement by weakening Labour? Corbyn - could destroy Labour in England and keep them out of power for a generation, but may re-invigorate the party in Scotland. Burnham - most likely of the other three to win, won't be particularly well received in Scotland (an establishment figure) Cooper - same as Burnham, but less likely to win Kendall - Tory in all but party. Would be the final nail in 'Scottish' Labour's coffin. But won't win. My feeling is she should vote for Burnham. Any views? If that post is genuine... And I fear it is, you're absolutely everything that's wrong with politics in Scotland. Have a word with yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilser Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Frankie Boyle's take http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/27/labour-is-now-so-passive-it-might-as-well-be-led-by-an-out-of-office-email He nails it again. I liked this:'I honestly dont think that Corbyn would make a good leader but only because he would quickly take his own life in a highly unconvincing manner on a long country walk, an inquiry taking 15 years to report that he had kicked himself to death.'

usainboltyarocket Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 He is a man of great principles. His pro Palestinian views , views which real decent humans agree with make a great change from the pro Israeli politicians that govern us.

MacWalka Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Independence supporters ? Seriously ? Met any Independence supporters lately (with the exception of Scunnered) ? I want independence, what I don't want is independence via a scorched earth policy enacted by a Conservative Government and with a complicit Labour Party. I don't particularly want us to get independence after we (and the rest of the UK) have our public assets stripped, our NHS privatised, our welfare state destroyed and a generation of young people thrown to the dogs.

Bonkers The SSP, SLP and Greens are more committed to independence than the SNP at this exact moment in time, as are Solidarity (scum). The SLP, SSP and Greens also all offer a much less evil version of independence, albeit the SNP version is more populist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
