  • mistakes Corbyn's popularity amongst the Labour selectorate with the potential for broader popularity needs their head examined.

    Obv. There is the potential still though, surely?

  • It definitely does. If Labour is a "big tent" party as the moderates claim, and Corbyn was able to win support from a huge swatch of that "big tent," one would think it's interesting that he got support across the board (i.e., he's not only popular with the "metropolitan elites" or "traditional working classes" or "ABC1s" or blah blah blah).

    Of course, the response would be the "big tent" only includes the people who were members pre-2015. Everyone else, from every other category, from every other part of the country (except Scotland), from every age demographic (except 18-24), from every class and background, is an entryist Trot. And the pre-2015 members who voted for Corbyn - long-game trots.

    Still don't think Labour can win a majority. But this is pretty interesting and I hope with all hope that Labour can unite. Especially now that it's been reported that Cameron attacked May for not getting behind Remain! That card is toast if the Tories try to use it now.
