Rayvin 4949 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 There's also no guarantee that they'll actually be able to oust him if it goes to a leadership contest. I think they're trying to force him to stand down. Â If it goes to a contest, and he wins (as seems likely), where do we go from there? They won't have a leg to stand on. Party split in two?

Alex 30239 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I can see from their pov that if there is an election this year than its better now - I just don't think there's anyone inspiring to step up. Neither do I really. That's as much reason why Corbyn got the gig as the wave of new members coming in and voting for him I think. Still though....

Well the party's still feeling the effects of that decision to go to war. Had a massive role in the way in which politicians in general are now viewed as well. Not that they were universally loved before that of course but now feels like a real nadir in terms of the perception amongst the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's little doubt in my mind that Corbyn's election was partly hijacked by far right as well as far left activists. Anyway, I have little faith in the system or any of the potential candidates.

Holden McGroin 4806 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 He's not a leader though. He's not remotely enthusiastic (or seemingly capable) of getting his message across to the public. It's a massive failing irrespective of his beliefs and actually prevents those beliefs being heard on the whole. I agree with you and what HF said earlier in that I like and respect him a lot more than I do most of his colleagues but he's not the man for the job. Re: Labour, I'd rather they had a coup now if it's going to happen. Â Yep. He seems like a politician that actually cares about making life better for people rather then personal gain but he is not a leader. Â I think its been said several times on here but if they had appointed David rather than Ed then we'd probably have a Labour government now.

Alex 30239 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The good thing in all this is that all those who were enouraging the public to vote leave, especially the figureheads, have really come to the fore and shown what fantastic strategists and leaders they are now that the country really needs them. Isn't that right, CT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Should it have been £300 then?  Members voting for leaders - how abhorent.  The electorate seem to have proven themselves incapable of voting in their own best interests though.  They can vote Corbyn into leadership as many times as they like, he will never, never win a general election.  If they want a non-tory to lead the country, they have to go more central.  But people, on a large scale, aren't capable of thinking strategically.  "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it" good old men in black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
