Jeremy Corbyn
« on: September 26, 2016, 12:59:35 PM »
Well he's been elected in - I'm not sure 'how' that works as we are told only one in five of his members support him.

Labour has no hope - it will still be a mess.
This chaps no leader.

Our local village recently held and election for District Councillor - the Lib Dems got in.

Next we are to vote on the Parish council - it will be interesting !

There was coverage of it on today's news = that's what they reported?
I won't be voting for the party for a long time to come - they have to prove themselves.

It's the same party as before. Just a new face in view to take all the flack  ;)

It's in disarray, not a lot of purpose or unity, well not enough for me to want to give them my vote anyway.

I'm wondering if it had a knock on and disheartening affect on local councils as certainly in our village which has always been Labour, it's not what it was.

Many people are fed up of the Tories, or so they say.

Which is the party to look towards - LibDems maybe?
Certainly not UKIP

So people listen to all the rhetoric about Corbyn and Labour, then go and vote for someone else.
Someone else has Bob Hope of getting in at the next election so the Tory's stay in Gov.
Same old same old as last election with UKIP. They won some seats, but they were never going to rule the world  :))

If enough people go and vote for someone else then we maybe have just a chance of a different way of doing things - it may be well be a good thing?

Then if enough people did vote for change, they'd get called idiots for doing it by other side (y)

Haven't we seen that with brexit  :))


Not having a go at you OC, and this is not my personal views.
Just being argumentative for the sake of debate.   x    :-*

Who cares about being called an idiot, we are all allowed our opinions.

Politicians never agree with other parties policies anyway.
We have to be grown up about this and make up our own minds don't we?

The Tories are I reckon currently the strongest party - but who knows how things will be in the next election

At the moment there seems to be no credible alternative to the Tories.
Corbyn has been voted in twice now, so he has to make the best of it - but I personally don't think he's up to the job. He's a nice bloke, but he's too nice - needs to grow a pair so to speak.
So whats left - Lib/Dems, Green Party,Ukip?
I think Ukip are perhaps deluding themselves into thinking that they can become the next credible alternative, yet if the Labour Party does not get its act together quickly - who knows what might happen!
I wonder - would Mr Farage take on the job as PM? Too right he would given the chance - but there would need to be a massive change politically which I think won't happen.
All this on the assumption that we leave the EU as promised on whatever terms are perceived as acceptable by Mrs May & Co.
Just my take on things as usual :))
