Does Labour have a future with Corbyn in charge?

I don't see why not, if his parliamentary colleagues grow up and do their jobs instead of carping pathetically from the sidelines.

 

Perhaps your own thoughts could be shared with us, given that you've bothered to bring it up

 

He's far from perfect, and I don't agree with a lot of his policies, but he does come across as a bloke who is genuinely in it for the right reasons, which is important. On a personal level I feel like I would trust him more than most politicians, and I think he has come across well in a lot of the interviews/debates so far. He's too far left for me to completely support him, but so far I much prefer him over other potential candidates for Labour leader.

 

Which of his Policies don't you agree with? Did you see him speak last Saturday in Barnsley?

He isn't far left by any means and is quite moderate.

 

I was at the meeting in Barnsley on Saturday. As I shook hands with Mr.Corbyn there were two 14 year old lads behind me and they said he had inspired them to want to get involved in politics and wanted to be MPs. I think the party has a strong future if it can engage young people as well as bring old men like me back to the party.

 

I'm not convinced that scrapping Trident is a good idea, primarily. Whilst we will almost certainly never use it for its intended purpose, I feel like having it in our arsenal is important and the whole concept of 'mutually assured destruction' is still relevant today.

 

Not for me, I believe he is a professional protest politician and probably good at it, but no way a leader as the other 80% of elected Labour MP`s feel

 

I agree, Corbyn engages with the man in the street. They come in droves to hear him, when did a politician ever do that. He spent 20 minutes speaking to the people outside the NUM who couldn't get in despite his people panicking about his schedule. We were very impressed with him.

 

Hope that you've got a big keep net.

 

Simple answer...

Yes

 

The whole country has a future with Jez at the helm... We are all learning how to care again...

 

Far left these days means you once read the Guardian in college. Corbyn is of course left wing but not to the extent the MSM label him as. Corbyn reminds me of Barnsley FC. He does all the hard work and when he gets results it's overlooked. Then when something happens like he makes a mistake (which is rare) he's written off and made out to be tinpot.
Corbyn is our best option, thing is 'they' don't want him in because he's not in the big club. He's an outsider. Not part of the big plan. He never believed in apartheid, Pinochet, Trident, the Iraq War. And he's right about everything. That's why the Murdoch's MSM are attacking him full throttle. He's not a threat to National security, he's a threat to the big global agenda. Rant over.

 

Whoops replied to wrong quote

Yes to original answer

Trident.....no

Strange how the budget for trident is the ocean depth, same as military action abroad.... yet the country are told theres no money for publc services NHS , housing disabilities etc homelessness....some thing wrong there dont you think...too many rich boys looking after their rich boy pals with lucrative contacts....

 

The problem at the moment is not Jeremy Corbyn . You may or may not agree with his policies , but after being elected as Party Leader he has the right to put these policies to the test in a general election . If these policies fail to attract the electorate then his leadership will rightly come under scrutiny .
The problem the Labour Party has now , is they've been seen to try and stab a democratically elected leader in the back , without having had the electoral test . No matter how it's dressed up , that is the case .

Had Corbyn backed his lifelong position and come out clearly to leave the EU he would be in a much better position personally , and from an electoral point of view so would the Labour Party . They would now be seen to be aligned with their heartland core support , as it is now , any competent campaign from the Tories or Ukip , can point to Labour having lost touch with the people . I really don't know how Labour can recover from this , at least as far as the next general election is concerned .

 

No

 

No. He does nothing to appeal to people who aren't already voting for Labour. Complete fantasist.

 

No

They wouldn't win without him either. The SNP has effectively removed almost any chance of a future Labour Government.

The old politics is dead.
