  • No not my position , but an example. That was over 30 years ago . Things are different but the electoral maths remains the same and indeed are now worse. This is not a new problem for Labour.

    I can't say any of the other candidate filled me with enthusiasm and I suspect they knew they would be transistional leaders unless "events, dear boy, events" changed things.

    This I agree with. There's not much more we can do.

    In fact, as I see it, the least (most?) we can do (if we are supporters of Corbyn's potential policies) is try to communicate to people why they are not the mad ravings of a nutjob, as the Conservatives and media are claiming. Those who repeat that he's unelectable or that he's out of touch with reality are only helping the right in their goal. This is even more troubling when those repeating these claims also go on to say they generally agree with him.

  • Unfortunately, he is both of those things. Well done to those who know this but have stayed.

    Alex Tsripas he's not
