Does Labour have a future with Corbyn in charge?

Question shold be .... does Labour have a future.
Answer. No.

 

While I'm sure Jeremy will be delighted to have gained your support, it doesn't change the fact that he's hemorrhaging the people in the middle who actually make a difference in an election. Anecdotal evidence doesn't really support the facts.

 

Re: he will be popular with those

said ages ago trollmeister out of all the people on here yours is the opinion I don't give a **** about the most, so trot along and pick your usual arguments elsewhere with everybody else like you usually do.
No further responses to your will be forthcoming, cos like I said really don't care

 

In answer to the question, yes, but as a serious challenger to The Conservaties then it's a no.

The answer to that question is yes, but they will be condemned to a prolonged period in opposition until the electorate get fed up with the Conservatives, which they will eventually (as in 1997).

I accompanied my wife, the current Mrs Didcot Red to the leadership debate at Sky Cebtre yesterday evening. The likelihood is the Corbyn will win, however, neither of them is ever going to be prime minister. If Corbyn is still leader in 2020, all his history will be dragged up in the campaign and Labour with him as Leader will have no chance. In the long term, unless they can re-conquer Scotland, the best they can hope for is leading a coalition.

I know this is not what many of us want but it looks increasingly likely.

 

Some of the answers are a little confusing, on one hand your saying that Labour has a future with Corbyn , but on the other that they have no chance against their biggest rival whilst he's in charge. Theory of madness, keep doin the same thing expecting the outcome to be different. Corbyn out

 

Re: he will be popular with those

Didn't speak to/ reference you whatsoever? Going to sound very strange but my posts aren't a thinly veiled attempt to get your attention. Nor does it matter what your opinion of me is. It certainly won't affect my posting on the forum. The fact you picked me out to try to bully me into not posting suggests you do somewhat care, thanks!

 

Not a hope of them being electable under Corbyn (or Smith) whilst they continue to marginalise the Labour supporting voters in the middle ground.

Party members does not equate to voter numbers, especially when most of those signing up would have probably voted Labour anyway. However, it's going to take a General Election catastrophe for that to become apparent (and even then it will probably get blamed on the press, the PLP, or something else).

Regardless of whether he's actually far-left or not, that's the perception he's giving to the voting public as a whole (and the prevalence of Socialist Worker banners wherever he goes doesn't help that).

There's a huge number of alienated middle-ground voters as a result of the Labour Party's purge of the Blair era. Not only do they have to make up the 2m vote shortfall vs the Tories from GE2015, they now have to replace all those lost votes as well. Some will drift to other parties, others won't bother voting at all.

Depressing times if you hate having Tory governments.

 

Re: he will be popular with those

I know I said I wouldn't bite but the accusations you are throwing at me are just not true. You are one of the most aggressive posters on here and often derogative to opinion's or posters you don't agree with.
That private message you sent me is wrong too

QOUTE
'Your ego Is out of control. I was responding to someone else regarding a conversation with someone else I hadn't even read/ cared about your post so mind your own business you complacent twerp. Sending me abuse out of the blue is extremely uncalled for you outright bully. sithi.'

I am far from egotistical just reserve the right to have an opinion different to you, how can you say you were responding to a different post when the one you replied to was a direct reference to my post
quote
" What he said was provably false thus he was talking **** it's not a case of agreeing or disagreeing" , regarding being a bully just try reading your previous replies to me and others hence the Troll reference

 

Re: he will be popular with those

Corbyn or Smith is about as good a choice as Clinton or Trump.

Wouldn't vote for any of them.

And Corbyn "mild left", don't think so.

 

Re: No

LibDem? They ought to be be permanently excluded from all this "progressive coalition" talk after what they enabled.

 

The man for what?

 

Except we're not, we've had a coalition then Neo-Liberals/Social Democrats Cameron and May.

 

No.

 

Never been as interested in politics as I am now. Thanks to JC.

We will have to wait and see how things go in terms of the future. I'm no clairvoyant.

 

Re: he will be popular with those

He mentioned talking **** I had said that other chap was talking ****. I was referring to my discourse with him. At the time of reply he hadn't included the quote he must have added it in after. Again, I have no interest in you or your opinion however strongly you clearly think I do. I enjoy debates on here even with those I don't agree with if thats offended you terribly I can only apologise but don't come replying to me saying to go posting elsewhere its not really your business, put me on ignore. I'm sure you won't and will continue to attention seek though.

It seems extremely fitting that the most interesting thing about yourself you could think of was living in North Yorkshire, I can bet you fit right in up there, thats for sure. Now leave me alone.

 

There's a lot of Tory's on this forum in't the, Me old granddad once told me many years ago if tha votes conservative tha hates every thing thats good in this world, NHS springs to mind cos very soon there will not be one.
