I'm much more likely to vote Labour with someone like Corbyn in charge than any of the other three identikit candidates. He at least appears to have some morals and a purpose. And that is coming from a UKIP supporter !

I'll take you out for dinner the day you vote Labour. That's a promise!

well that cant be right....according to mustafa and dave you must be a fascist for being UKIP.......you are not permitted to be associated with Labour or anyone else......it ruins their argument UKIP are nazis

Pretty sure ive not accused anybody who supports ukip as a fascist/Nazi. Naive probably. I have said the party is full of racists, little Englanders and ex bnp. It is.
If I have called somebody a fascist/Nazi for supporting this useless party, please show me.

Raise £120bn annually by clamping down on tax avoidance
Surely we'd all love that, but it sounds less realistic than us wanting Brighton to win the Champions League.

This is one approach. But, as seen across other countries, maybe this is changing with time and with more and more people being trapped outside the so called middle-ground.

Well it will be interesting to see what happens if he gets voted in. I am not currently convinced that the electorate as a whole are ready for a lurch to the left and that this call for change is from a very loud but ultimately not significant enough minority.

Not sure that people want left or right politics these days. Middle of the road seems to be ruling the day. Cons have moved a bit to the left, Labour moved a bit to the right.

This is insane. Take everything people didn't like about Ed Milliband, and double, no triple down. I've never seen voluntary capitulation like this. What did David Cameron do to be afforded such weak opponents? He wants to reopen the mines - there are no words.

Did in 97 ! And I work just the corner from your British base so you're on.

Deal!

And I hope the thought (or threat?) of dinner with me doesn't swing your vote positively or negatively :smile:

It's good to have choice. Two parties in the centre has become all about personalities and not about politics. At least with Corbyn there might be some sort of debate.

I agree that it's not the same as selling off gilts, but the effect is the same: there's an increase in the money supply

thats where the similarity ends. buying gilts (not selling) helps the banks shore up their balance sheets and encourages them to seek investment elsewhere in the economy in order to make a bit of profit, so indirectly increases money supply in the wider economy. hence lack of inflation. setting up a bank to directly inject cash into projects, however well intentioned, will be pumping cash into the economy that will increase inflation. basically Corbyn's economic message is "dont like austerity, to fix it i'll create growth through inflation". this isnt Keynesian, that would at least expect loans to fuel the government spending. this is dangerous, when tried before its lead to fairly disastrous economic collapse.

Well it will be interesting to see what happens if he gets voted in.

I think he will find it almost impossible to assemble a shadow cabinet. If he does win I believe there is virtually zero possibility of him leading Labour into the next General Election (assuming that this current Government serves it's full 5 year term) and Labour will be back electing a new leader in 2 to 3 years maximum.

The collateral damage from Miliband's disastrous tenure continues; his decision to step down immediately after the election defeat looks likely to cause more long-term harm to the Labour party than the election defeat itself. Miliband effectively killed the Labour party as an electoral force, Corbyn is simply putting the last few nails in the lid.
