Jeremy Corbyn is seen as an unpopular leader across almost all demographic groups and leads a party whose voters are increasingly out of step with majority opinion in the country. Since the election, Labour has attracted voters from two main sources: the Liberal Democrats and the Greens, many...

Very true The lunatics really have taken over the asylum. :mad:

True there will be some variation but the point I was making was there seems to be some strange idea that the public are against bombing in Syria. If as the poster I replied to suggests MP's should go with the will of their constituents most should be supporting the government.

I thought the media debate has been relatively balanced and thoughtful excluding the red tops of course. Agree with you about the need for boots on the ground. The 70,000 moderate rebels recently mentioned by the PM are unlikely to be a cohesive, effective fighting force if they exist at all...

You seem to be operating under the misapprehension that the general public are against air strikes in Syria. Just in case you missed it last time .. Following your argument any MP who votes against air strikes 'must expect to be considered for de-selection at some time.' ???

Jeremy Corbyn is expected to grant Labour MPs a free vote on extending UK air strikes against so-called Islamic State into Syria, the BBC understands. But the Labour leader is believed to want his party to take a position of opposition to military action...

It is debatable whether the grass roots will decide what happens in the party... Plot to oust Jeremy Corbyn 'as senior Labour figures seek legal advice on how to unseat party leader' Lawyers have reportedly told prominent MPs that in the event of a leadership challenge Mr Corbyn could be...

Well worth a read There is rage coursing through the veins of today’s Labour party. Even before the latest act of self-laceration over Syria, it’s been bursting out from all but the truest of true believers in the new leader: rage, despair and bewilderment at whatever new low has been plumbed...

He had already come to that conclusion before hearing the PM's case. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/nov/26/labour-whip-email-vote-against-syria-airstrikes The only way Corbyn can keep a lid on an open revolt would be allowing a free vote expect him to cock that up as well.

A selfish, deluded, incompetent ***ker ... yep sums him up nicely.

Because he has no idea how to Lead a political party? Your right he was never going to support further military action, the supposed consultation and new politics of open debate are a desperate joke. It's Corbyn's way no matter the damage it does to Labour.

Jeremy Corbyn 'cannot support UK air strikes in Syria' Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has written to his MPs to say he cannot support UK air strikes targeting so-called Islamic State in Syria. He rejected Prime Minister David Cameron's claim in a Commons debate that action would make Britain...

I thought Gorgeous George handled it quite well http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34925962 Even the Guardian is reporting it as a bit of an own goal http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/nov/25/john-mcdonnell-mao-zedong-little-red-book-george-osborne

Labour party members back Jeremy Corbyn by a two-thirds margin, The Times can reveal, making it all but impossible for the leader’s detractors to mount a successful putsch. The hard-left party leader was elected in September with 59 per cent of the vote. Now 66 per cent of Labour members believe...

They may not be representative but I think it's called 'relative' poverty.

Or like having Ronnie Pickering and his best mate take over at one of the top two clubs in the country then wondering why they are 7 points adrift at the bottom of the table.

A bit on the high side. It will all end with a few suspensions followed by a permanent exclusion.

You got a few bites but sadly no answer to that question. Quelle surprise!

Not according to the latest poll Anyway, looking at the rest of the ComRes poll they repeated their favourability questions about party leaders, finding a drop in Jeremy Corbyn’s ratings since September. 22% now have a favourable perception of Corbyn (down 2), 50% have an unfavourable...
