Labour

[Soulman]

I'm keeping a note of all those saying they will LEAVE and make sure that they DO

Not me, still waiting for Nibble to leave after the Tories got in...as promised

 

[portslade seagull]

As long as he is like Tony Benn and he looks after the British people. O but wait where was he today not fighting the corner for the British homeless or the British hungry on our shores, the elderly British people who fought in world wars like **** he was. He outlined his love right from the off and it certainly won't be for the British people values, culture or heritage.

Open door policy to mayhem beckons

 

[Albion Dan]

When all Labour were is a mirror image of the tories bar the odd policy for the last 15 years then this can only be a good thing.

Has that scouser Paul O'Grady gone yet? If not give him a nudge.

In the unlikely event we descend into a Socialist Utopia I may well consider leaving the UK, however it will never happen

Not sure you'll be able to use your free rail travel for the journey though.

Anyway, if it does happen.....................

Could this possibly throw up a new centre party coming from the remnants of New Labour and what's left of the Lib Dems?

It's nearly 35 years since the Gang of Four left the Labour Party to form the SDP, with mass and instant resignations from the Shadow Cabinet today could history repeat itself?

Blissful ignorance, covers Europe as well

Not a chance, they don't want to risk their cosy little jobs in the Westminster bubble, they will quit the front bench but none has the principles to leave the Labour Party. None of those who resigned today will be missed, they were part of the reason why Labour lost in May because Blue Labour aping the Tories is a busted flush now

 

[OGH's Libido]

2nd post 'I'll leave the country...' If only everyone did who said this!!!!

I'm coming back, but wouldn't have done if Ed had got in, if that helps!

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Good result for Tories and DC.

Don't be too sure. If Labour splits the Tories won't be far behind - they're as divided as Labour and hold together only because of the presence of a still-formidable ( just) opposition. The Libs could benefit though.

 

[The Birdman]

Might cause SNP a Problem he more left than Sturgeon and Salmond and might start splitting the Scotish Vote.

I've heard this before - millions of people in England voted UKIP and Tory because Labour weren't left wing enough. I don't quite get it.

Not sure many will leave but it will be no fun to live in a country that penalises hard work, that taxes at a marginal rate of 98%, that lets the rubbish build up on the street, that prefers strikes to a days work, where the country seen as the sick man of europe. Could go on

The historical parallel is obvious, but Corbyn is, I think, a very different political animal from dear old bumbling Michael Foot. Besides, I don't really see anybody wanting to be associated with what's left of the lib dems at the moment. We could be in for some surprises........

Greece?

 

[crookie]

I just can't see how an open door to immigration and it's consequent increase in housing costs and downward pressure on wages is an attractive prospect to 'working people'. Tories are far from perfect, but his immigration/defence/economic policies will make labour unelectable

 

[Hampster Gull]

Greece?

May become similar yes

Depending on what happens within Labour over the coming months I can easily see this happening.

 

[theboybilly]

Corbyn wasn't totally convincing when up against the other three (largely amicable) opponents in the debates. Cameron will eat him for breakfast at PMQs

The Big Four left Labour in the eighties. Could happen. If i had to be though i would say no though so am kindof with you.
