Thread Name: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Ake - have I ever said I expect Corbyn to be the next Labour Prime Minister...

I was as surprised as anyone else that he won the leadership contest, and immediately stated at the time
the blairites would be out for any opportunistic excuse to undermine and discard him...

That much is an obvious negative divisive undercurrent in the Labour party

Whether that amounts to an 'internal war' or just antagonistic business as usual for cynical egotist careerist politicians..
it's open for debate...

[Personally, I think Corbyn is too much of a quiet tolerant gent with the bitterites..
He should have been tougher and kicked some of the ring leaders out..]

What's happened in the last couple of weeks is a clear attempt by right wing media, tories, Israeli regime supporters,
and anyone else who fancies a chance to get a sly kick in to Labours head, to force as big a destabilising division as they could get away with
in the run up to elections.

So, I do think I'm as close enough to the beam as any well informed and experienced observer of the political shit heap can be...
