Quote Hoof Hearted at 22 Jun 2015 11.08am [Link] 4 contenders, none of them up to much, but apart from Jeremy Corbyn all a step up from Miliband. Which do you prefer? My preference would be Corbyn for an easy Tory re-election in 5 years time. He is the Union's favourite, just like Miliband was and very left wing in his views. Labour need to sort out their economic credibility to stand a chance of gaining power ever again. Wouldn't you prefer a strong opposition to hold the government to account? ...we must expand...get more pupils...so that the knowledge will spread...

In the 1995 by-election in Islwyn, UKIP who polled 289, were beaten by the Monster raving looney party. They were beaten by socialist Labour in 96 in the Barnsley by-election. Whilst I concede that TUSC only scored minor votes in the election, they did have enough of a base to stand enough candidates to warrant a PPB, something UKIP didn't manage in their first general election. If anything, I'd say that TUSC fared better in their first GE than UKIP did in theirs. You are referring to the Anti-Federalist League in the 1992 General Election, a forerunner of UKIP. A fully formed UKIP came about in 1993 and first stood in the 1997 election polling 105,722 votes for 194 candidates (545 average) and did not lose all their deposits. They of course did far better in the EU elections, quickly winning seats. mother-in-law is an anagram of woman hitler

That Corbyn, who has very little financial or organisational network around him, is doing so well speaks volumes for how stupid and out of touch with reality Labour supporters and Unions are....

EFA

I am not that interested in US politics personally.

Over here we've just had a General Election if you recall and socialism was given a huge thumbs down.

However, if it makes you feel better and able to cope with a Conservative government for the next 5 years you think what you like sunbeam.

I was talking about the tossers that campaigned as "The Trade Union and Socialist Coalition"... did they get their deposit back on any seat?

Labour were just pathetic that was what "sank them".

They lost their deposit in every seat.

They stood in 135 seats and polled 36,327 overall (average per seat 260).

The most they polled was 1,769 for Dave Nellist.

A woman in Pontypridd polled 48.

In the 2013 Eastleigh by-election they were beaten by the 'Elvis Loves Pets' party, and the 'Beer Baccy and Crumpet' party.

Trust the electorate.
