Thread Name: BS: electing a new labour leader
Subject: RE: BS: electing a new labour leader
You can see from your definition why he puts the word liberal in ""

In a democracy, we are all therefore liberals. If people vote for a system under the rules of the given election, you need a good firm challenging opposition, and Corbyn can do that.

Adopting his alternatives is a very different kettle of fish. His rash comments on using quantitive easing in a growing economy or single stroke nationalisation with no compensation for the poor buggers investing their savings precludes anyone being interested in him getting the keys to No.10 so until he settles down and realises the difference between apathy in today's politicians and support for his ideas, he is on a hiding to nothing.

I still think I would like him leading for two years whilst Labour find themselves again, but a real leader must come forward in that time. Watson? Johnson? Buggered if I know.
