Jeremy Corbyn

Templeton Peck said:
Corbyn has recognised that his vote was about a desire for an alternative that puts people at the centre rather than any great clamour for him personally. If he can change Labour into a genuinely democratic movement he will have wrestled control from the Blairites and transformed them into a real movement of the people.

That's great and all that - but it seems he's trying to turn them into a left UKIP - the true supporters love him, but the average voter won't go near him, meaning the party will never achieve real power until he's gone...

It's got nothing to do with whether he can change the die hard labour movement to appreciate him, his politics take into no account that we are in 2015, the world has moved on from the original NHS style politics, and sadly while his principals are right down there with the masses, he is so old school, and so out of touch, it's like voting for Macmillan.

His principles are basicaly right, but they are presented with such gusto and belief, for 1960 not 2015.

It's like voting for my granny, she knows what she wants, but she still thinks the Germans occupy Athens.
 
A new smaller and less influential labour paddy? The latest polls have the Tories at 42%, labour at 27% and UKIP at 15%...
 
Whatever some people on here think of him, he really doesn't appeal to that many people. People are looking for Miliband's Labour...
 
I have to agree, we're an Island nation, we're naturally xenophobic, bellicose, we don't very easily turn the other cheek, basically we're everything that Corbyn isn't.

I assume you're mainly speaking for yourself?

He appealed to the biggest percentage of the labour voting pool. By a huge margin. So really what those that voted for other parties think means cock all in a labour leader election.

It is like taking an election poll just before Galtieri invaded Port Stanley and saying that meant the people didn't want Thatcher.

Your whole comment is a complete non sequitur
 
So. Let me get this right

PEOPLE want Miliband Labour. That was utterly rejected in May.

Yeah. right.

People don't want what they voted in and they don't want what Corbyn is offering. They want something somewhere in the middle, which was what Milliband's labour was or what the coalition was.
