Sounds promising - once he's in, the Corbynistas, Momentum, Lansmann, RLB, McDonnell, Abbot, Owen Jones, Ash Sarkar etc. will be consigned to history and Labour can start to try to make themselves electable again.
What a massive choice they have to make - and it shows how there is such a huge split in the Labour Party.
One will take us back to Blair/Tory Lite policies - and may well win elections.
One will keep to the Corbyn path - and Labour will become merely a protest party and in the wilderness for...
Stupid maybe but not surprising, they were from completely different wings of the Party. Remember Momentum run the LP now, not the leadership.
Watson was a good man, and a good MP.
Interesting that the LP parachuted a Corbynite into his safe seat for the recent election, and ending up losing...
Sure, wait.
Then once RLB says and does exactly what HWT has listed, she wins the leadership campaign and Labour stays to the left, instead of moving back to the centre where they can actually win elections.
10 more years out of power.
If RLB wins then it's a further 10 years from now in the wilderness for Labour.
That's IMO of course - I just believe the UK is in need of a centrist Party (not the Liberals, they're finished)
Yes, like the Blair / Brown years but without the illegal wars.
The LibDems lose every time because of:
Our voting system.In so many constituencies it's a wasted vote.
Their lack of resources (Tories have business, Labour have the Unions)
They are seen as weak and wet - scandal wearing, muesli eating 50+ idealists.
I fundamentally disagree with regards...
Oh well, you carry on then - as I say 10 more years in the wilderness, become a protest party, who would I think actually prefer to be in opposition, making a noise, shouting loudly from the sidelines, but not actually wanting to take responsibility.
Of course those MPs lost their deposits, I...
So it's at least 10 more years of the Tories then.
RLB really is useless.
Oh well, Momentum can bang on about it being about the socialist project, we won the argument etc. blah blah.
I heard Starmer on Today this morning - I could vote for him.
It's ironic that the Tories were always the...
Great - another delusional ideologist.
GB - and in particular England - is not a socialist Country, and a centre left Labour Leader would have a chance of winning. What (apart from the illegal war) was so bad about Blair?
Otherwise it's the wilderness forever for Labour.
