Howmanheyman 26981 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Fair play to the Tories and friends in the press, they've absolutely convinced the Labour Party and Tory voters that there cannot be a party who stands up for the poor and working classes. As that tweet posted earlier says, if they don't stand for the people then what the fuck do they stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 trouble is the remains of the working class and the poor often agree with the Tories and there aren't enough of them to win any election - you win from the middle same goes for the Tories - Hague, Duncan-Smith & Howard were all unelectable - same as Foot, Kinnock & Milliband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30462 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 His failure to get elected was as much to do with his personality as his views. I.e. being a total fucking dweeb. And the press jumping all over his inability to eat a bacon sandwich and the patter about him being a puppet on the SNP if he got in. Policy was pretty thin on the ground from both of the main parties in the run-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can win from anywhere with the right man and the right programme....But the society of the day has to be able to understand what is on offer.

She also suggested yesterday that if Jeremy Corbyn wins the right of the party will break off and start a new party in alliance with the Lib Dems and the Greens. She's off her head.

Tom 13883 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Never realised there were so many John Birch society members writing in the UK. Honestly man you'd think anything left was going throw everyone into an East Berlin bread queue rather than simply have a country support it's people fairly. (Ugh I can't find the article now) but I'd rather have Corbyn actually represent people & lose than watch labour devolve into the torys MKII. Seriously what's the point if nobody is representing actual people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3986 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The swing voters who voted for Blair and didn't vote for Milliband probably wouldn't vote for Corbyn (and then again might not vote for the others anyway) but people who are more left wing who voted green might be tempted. There's also more than enough people who didn't vote at all to make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
