Whether Winni was making this point, I can see how you could interpret my words as saying that.
And indeed, public/media perception is going to be Corbyn's biggest battle.
You do a blind tasting of policies and I'm going to guess that the majority of the electorate would come out backing Corbyn... but a lot of people won't vote for him because 'left' is an ugly word for them.
It's a tough one indeed.
bashthebox-
I didn't mean to put words in your mouth, but there's has been alot of "tory scum" type jibing from the hard left at the more centrist elements of the labour party.
I think the way to win back tory voters is not to make out that they are bad people, but to convince them in debate. Corbyn has been trying to say this.
William.
These are your words. No one said that. Not even anything close to that. Jesus.
bashthebox's point was a lot of New Labour voters share more in common on policy with the Tory party. How does that get construed into one group calling another group scum?
