  • Any data out there on the electability of smith vs corbyn in a GE?

  • I wouldn't trust any data out there, I don't think polling is reaching the right people.

    Mobile, caller ID, etc etc.

    Electable? I don't think either of them are.
    Nobody seems to want to grasp the "being part of a global economy means jobs don't always stay/come here" or "what's the point at which we have to apply greater income tax? the average salary is x, but that would mean most of the people currently supporting us will suddenly be in a much higher tax band" or "how do we tax corporations in a global economy and ensure they continue to employ people?" or even "this is quite possibly the worst scenario, we have nobody capable of working together in this party or in this parliament to offer a suitable opposition to those in power, who have quite clearly lied and yet you voted for them"
