I hope its Long Bailey
Why on earth wouldn't you want a better alternative than the government, anyway?It'd be foolish to want that even as a massive Johnson fan. Having an unelectable opposition and practically free reign to do as they please for long periods never turns out well either way. You need an effective opposition to have effective, accountable government.
I assume you have been a member in the past, and not just been randomly selected?so. I am not a member of the party and was sent A voting option.
I guess that is how I keep Long Bailey and Rayner out.

It's unlikely to happen(!) but give me a Tory who out-Labours Labour and out-Liberals the Liberals, and I'd vote for them.
Ironically, Johnson'd be close if it weren't for the incompetencies and self-interests!
The former I think.Right. Angela Rayner. Help me out. I don’t see it? Is it just a bit of patronising the working class or am I a dickhead who is missing an amazing poltician?
Are you joking? Nandy says a lot of "we must" without having any actual ideas. I think she's dreadful tbh.Nandy appears naturally the most cogent,Frank,honest, honourable,responsive.
Therefore the most electable on the national stage
Foolish if they select another.
If not certainly one for the future.

Politics isn’t football, you don’t just cheer for your side. Get your head out of the culture war. Our democracy functions best when we have an effective opposition to hold the government to account.I hope its Long Bailey
Even though people had a change for Corbyn?Politics isn’t football, you don’t just cheer for your side. Get your head out of the culture war. Our democracy functions best when we have an effective opposition to hold the government to account.
Yes. A few years ago. I still get the emails. I cancelled and asked them not to send mail. The way the party was going with momentum and Corbyn et al meant I could not continue as a member. Until they have a credible alternative I will cast my vote elsewhere. Tbh I don’t like extremes. I vote for the least bad.I assume you have been a member in the past, and not just been randomly selected?
Yeah you do cheer for ya side, go on BorissssPolitics isn’t football, you don’t just cheer for your side. Get your head out of the culture war. Our democracy functions best when we have an effective opposition to hold the government to account.

So out of interest, how many people around here are Coventry Labour Party members?

He just won’t let this go, it’s my real worry with him. His actual position is a bit more nuanced but he should’ve known how it’d be reported and just said “no”. It’s an obvious gotcha question that’s going to come up.
saw that and it pretty much made my mind up not to vote in the leadership election. Thought Starmer was the only realistic candidate to take the party forward even if I personally would prefer someone a bit more left leaning but you've got to compromise but this is madness.
Problem is there are a lot of centrists who think that's a vote winner, they'll never learn.
Bit of a trap because anyone would be mad to rule it out. If we leave and everything goes to shit and an overwhelming percentage of people want to rejoin should he just keep refusing? Of course that level of detail doesn't come over and he ends up looking a bit ridiculous.
