    Not you though I seem to remember because I told you I had more or less lost faith in all the main party's and considered my vote worthless because of the area I live. You told me I could have no say threfor not respecting my opinion.

    I seem to remember it wasn't just an opinion you were having you were pulling Barnsley people in general down because they all voted labour and it was a waste of time you voting .
    And I told you I didn't want to argue with someone who didn't vote a d that's my perogative.

    I can't see why labour has gone backwards with Corbyn...... If he's loony left for wanting to stop the decline of the NHS and stop following America into wars then I'm a loony as well!!! That's before I start on him wanting to tax the richer percentage of the country to help pay for better education housing and to look after the elderly instead of battering people with austerity that only works for the greedy.

    If that makes him a left wing loon then good luck to him because this shower we've got in at the minute are slowly selling the NHS off and making lives of the working class a constant struggle with low wages and zero hours contracts......

    I hope the corbyn bandwagon keeps rolling all the way into number 10 come 2020...

    It's funny isn't it how once you take the tag away his views suddenly chime with a lot of people, people who don't care about ideological arguments but want a fairer society.

    That's what everyone should want.....A fairer society and a decent crack at it wether your off a council estate in South Yorkshire or born into money in Berkshire! That should be a right for everybody but at the minute what chance do people from poor backgrounds have?

    Good. The Labour Party was founded to represent the working class. Unfortunately it was infiltrated by tories. We are now getting our Party back and the attacks on Corbyn show that the Tories and the Murdoch controlled media fear him. Many people who stopped voting because they did not feel that the Blairite Labour Party represented them have returned to the fold. The Labour Party is now stronger and will fight Cameron and his coke heads all the way to the next election.

    Explain why you think that? A few Tory Infiltrators have left the shadow cabinet.

    he's got absolutely no chance, a lot of his own party think he's out of his depth, as soon as he starts on his nutty defence ideas he will isolate a lot of non labour voters, when he tries to explain how he is going to pay for his ideology he will lose some more. The support he has had from abroad from groups with terrorist groups will lose him some more, ands so it goes on.
    Some voters in labour strong holds and union members will like him but that's as far as it goes, so how canhim destroying the last chance of a credible opposition (and every government needs one to be kept in check) be a good thing?

    This is certainly the view my friends who wouldn't have voted Labour under a Blairite leader either have said

    The Tory media has tried it's hardest to paint him as incompetent. This happens to every high-profile left wing candidate in the UK and USA!

    They'll abuse him in the papers and on Sky relentlessly for the next 4 years, and it might work.

    Notice that the word 'unelectable' has been spouted in every corner over the last couple of months? Tories trying to undermine a true threat to the established order.

    you do realise most of what they have been saying are Corbin quotes in some cases backed up with pictures?

    They won't need to try very hard at all; he'll do that all by himself. The party will tear itself apart over the next few years, people will realise that his ideological nonsense is just that - the kind of cr@p you hear at university debating societies.

    Given a few months or so. We won't have anyone to vote for. Imo. Likely when the torys start talking Europe. History will repeat and they too will tear themselves apart like they always do. Leaving well. Not much. Great future coming up.

    Edit. Not that I ever intend voting for them either :)

    I don't disagree. I think looking at his policies whilst welcome. Not all are for everyone. (What is). But think it may be too much for a majority one day. Time will tell. But something needs to change and maybe this is it.
