Originally posted by jamiemartin721 Corbyn should stand down, and the Labour party hold another leadership election, and he should stand in it. F**k the PLP they represent the most unrepresentative party in the history of labour. They couldn't win a leadership contest, and large sections of it have been bitching and sniping ever since. Its pretty clear both the Conservative and Labour party have no real connection to how people think or feel. No doubt they plan to wheel out another Dead Milliband / Blairite middle class pandering corporate stooge. Couldn't agree more. The contempt shown by most of the MPs of both main parties for the will and best interests of those that elect them is breathtaking. Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage.

Originally posted by Y Ddraig Goch You may. Maybe I have an irrational dislike of him but to me he represents the worst type of career politician, of which there are many (on all sides). Would you trust anything he says? He lacks any real principals Expenses (yes there were others) His Wiki entry editing (again I know others do it) The manner in which he a) conducted his leadership campaign and b) the way he acted afterwards was cringe-worthy. He will say anything if he thinks it will help him climb up the greasy pole. What he does deserve enormous credit for is Hillsborough. Agree with the Hillsborough point. However what you say you don't like is the polar opposite of what Corbyn is. I don't know your thoughts on Corbyn's current predicament.

Re Brexit I think it is blatantly obvious that he did support Brexit. But he was forced to choose between the official position of his party and his personal views. And he chose to do what his party as a whole believed was right. I'm not even sure he was half-hearted when campagining, just that the media were much more interested in the Tory civil war. And on the charisma point, yes you're right. But as you say he is the antithesis of everything people keep saying is wrong in politics. He is not a careerist. He isn't a media construct. Jeremy Corbyn sort of proves that while everyone always said they hated and were fed up with politicians that were media-savvy, full of spin, and underhanded two-faced liars, really they got exactly what they wanted "It's almost like a moral decision.

I also think, he should stand in the Labour Leadership election though. He's in an odd position, in that he wasn't chosen by the PLP, who are now trying to depose him. My concern, for the Labour party, is that this would have occurred irrespective of the vote, and was effectively a means of replacing a leader that was forced upon them by the Labour voters.

Labour will be the far left wing equivalent of the National Front. Consigned to an archive of seventies failures. Again you post opinion without backing it up. I'll repeat again that what he stands for resonates with people of all political hues. Rail renationalisation, holding tax dodgers to account, investing in industry and housing to stimulate growth etc etc. Whatever he does he is on a hiding to nothing in the press. The BBC are in trouble again today for misreporting what Tom Watson had actually done before taking the report down. Thing is, whoever is in charge of Labour is on a hiding to nothing unless they offer watered down Tory policies. That isn't opposition, in fact it's the opposite. Do what evidence, other than suppositions and pressure BS do you have to back up your claim.

I have a personal opinion and unlike you I don't get it from a useful handbook of what to think and spurious statistics. The media hammer Corbyn because he is a man who belongs in another age. What you just listed as his agenda could be attributed to me or loads of others. That is not what scares voters. What does is his attitude toward unions,defense,The Falklands etc. The wise see through his nicely airbrushed populist policies and see him for what he really is.
