DUGHER sacked by Corbyn

IMHO, of course.

 

Why do folk on here who don't vote Labour, keep telling folk on here who do vote Labour that Labour won't do owt with Corbyn as leader? Why do you care?

It'd be like me moaning about who manages Sheffield United.



On topic though, I'm a big fan of Jeremy and his efforts to rid the part of its Tory element..

 

Always been a Labour man Whitey as have members of my family and voted Labour at the last election but for all his good points Corbyn will never unite the party to a general election victory.

Nasa will put a man on Mars first.

 

Well how do you know who anybody votes for? And how would the people who are doing the telling know who the people they are telling vote for? I'm confused.

 

Bet there's more people on here who didn't vote Labour last election but would under Corbyn than the other way round

 

To be honest, I can't stand our voting system. Didn't the Tories get a massive majority yet only 25% of the vote, or have I imagined that? I hate politics, but Jeremy has enthused me a little. I used to think they all pissed in the same pot, politicians. But Corbyn seems genuinely in it for the right reasons. He says a lot of stuff that I believe in.

Whereas, it's totally different with the Tories, UKIP etc. And the Liberals are a joke party.

 

I'm guessing, based on the content of their political posts on the forum.

I've used my brain and guessed that folk who constantly decry anything Labour, and defend Tory policies etc, I've decided they're probably Tories. And so when they post things like they do, about how bad Corbyn is for Labour, I don't understand it.

Make sense?

 

That's the sad thing they might be fed up with the Tories but not fed up enough to vote for a Corbyn type government, Diane Abbot alone will cost thousands of votes

 

You've imagined it.

They got a small majority and 37% of the vote.

No party has got over 50% of the vote since the 1930s though.

 

Nope!

I'd be in the Labour camp but I think Corbyn is a clown who has as much chance of being elected prime minister as Keith Hill.

 

sez it all that really Mr W Hitey!

hth

 

In my time there between late 50's and 1980, say 20 years +, Barnsley was almost a monopoly for Labour insomuch as practically everyone voted for them, so I'm just curious as to what changed the voting habits if there are now so many Tory voters there if this forum is a fair representation and if as you say the labour detractors on here are all Tory voters? Curious

 

So 37% is a majority is it?

I think Mr White meant 25% of the eligible populace - the 36.9% was the proportion of those who actually voted

Either way one cannot defend the result as a triumph for democracy.

This is what happens when people believe what they read in the populist press

 

Nothing much has changed - this forum is not a fair representation of the voting populace - very few ladies post on here - that's 50% of the voters and like your good self many aren't resident in Tarn.

 

Dan Jarvis.


Haha. Sorry..ha
Cough..ha..ha



Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

 

Labour only got 35% of the vote in 2005, that was even further away from a majority.

 

Name one. The alternatives to JC were more of the same.

Don't say Dan Jarvis

 

....and that just reinforces my point, does it not?

 

See above.

 

I only found out this week that we have two labour parties. There is the Labour Party that elects the leader and the Parliamentary Labour Party that decides whether or not to support that leader. On balance, I'm sick of it and I don't think that the Labour Party can afford to get rid of the rebel Parliamentary Labour Party and the division is giving too many opportunities to the right wing Tory press. It's also allowing the tories to get away with murder.
I think that under the circumstances and for the good of the party Corbyn should stand down. The one I don't want is Hillary Benn.
