Exactly. Popular policies that are clearly marked as Corbyns.
Not rejected when people find out they are Corbyn's.
Of course you do.
So are you saying that Corbyn is the best Labour has?
I know that all you do is disagree with what I say unless you agree with it clearly. Then you don't mention it in the slightest. If I mention anyone at all you will just take the piss.
Not at all. Nobody is going to move too far from the centre as it's electoral suicide.No you are, unless I’ve misread. Thought you were talking about an abandoning of the centre when surely the centre is where preferred policies lie
I guarantee that a lot of the people that support Corbyn haven't a clue what his policies (today) are or why they agree with them...other than to keep/get the Tories out

Raises the question of whether Brexit was ever going to work. Politicians wanting to ‘honour the will of the people’ but knowing the country will be worse off as a consequence. Almost like putting it to a referendum was fucking stupid.

So how about as far back as yesterday when he walked out of a very important meeting because an ex Labour MP was invited?It's not about been right or wrong and it's not about Corbyn, for me it's about his policies.
There is no one waiting in the wings, with more charisma, with better leadership skills to promote those policies, so it's him or no-one.
Of course the thing most people miss is the negative press he gets is down to one particular policy specifically and it's why they'll constantly hound him - Leverson 2.
Very easy.So why do the Tories get away with it every cycle
Because nobody reads the manifesto and believes the poshos
Very easy.
Name the last decent Labour leader. I go back as far as John Smith. How about you?
When explicitly linked to Labour they are less popular. Osborne’s lies from 2010 still having an effect
Labour's manifesto policies are popular but they won't determine who wins the election
This will be fun. When I got asked before I got ripped to bits for naming Starmer. Now we can see how honest some are on here as if they are they will also rip you to bits for naming him.Blair won 3 in a row with one hell of a spin doctor.
Still can’t name any Corbyn replacements? I’ll kick off
Keir Starmer
So it's still the same issue individual policies maybe popular regardless of whose they are.When explicitly linked to Labour they are less popular. Osborne’s lies from 2010 still having an effect

Bliar won because John Smith sorted out the Labour party just before he sadly unexpectedly passed away. Then Bliar used Tory policies.Blair won 3 in a row with one hell of a spin doctor.

I will say we agree with someone.When did you name him? Will you now take back the idea that I refuse to discuss replacements?

People vote for a total group of policies rather individual ones.
Don't think many Agreed with university fees for example but it wasn't enough on its own to deter voters.
Every party has vote winners and vote losers. We'd all like the best education, health etc and low taxes difficult to put all 3 together.
Is the argument as simple as getting an attractive, media savvy personality to lead a party in order to get policies across and parties elected?

Would you like to guess what page I named him on?
Here is a post from a different thread from meCertainly wasn’t recent as it’s like drawing blood from a stone with you

QUOTE="Astute, post: 1347269, member: 2627"]I know that we are not going to see it the same way. But the way I see it is Labour should have won. Two elections ago the Tories had to jump into bed with the Lib Dems. And that was with Labour having a leader that wasn't trusted by anyone. Brown couldn't even smile in a nice way. The Bliar days were over. He knew that so walked before he was pushed. So bye bye Brown...... So then we got Ed Miliband. Not much better than a wet fart. No charisma. No idea. But the Tories still only just crossed the line with a majority. Lots of Lib Dems had deserted their party for getting into bed with the Tories. They are not Tory voters. But we didn't have a leader to take advantage. Close call but the Tories scraped home. So somehow we end up with Corbyn. He only got put forward at the last minute to make the leadership race look competitive. He was a 200/1 shot. But there was a call on the internet to pay £3 so you could vote him in. Corbyn becomes leader. Labour support goes downhill after Corbyn becomes leader. But as the election comes closer reality hits home. And to help a lot of younger voters register and vote for Labour. But the Tories still nearly made the majority. There has been years of austerity which is the norm with a Tory government. They were ready for the taking. Labour wasn't ready with a strong leader yet again though. I can't see this coalition working. May should walk. But if she does they will put someone in place that will do a better job. They will turn up next time on TV. They will put more effort in. They will have a manifesto that people will vote for. Whereas Labour will have Corbyn. He tried his best. But it only reduced the Tories seats by 12. Yet Corbyn celebrated a victory. I don't want a leader that celebrates losing. I want a leader that can celebrate a win. What is needed is a leader like Starmer. Someone honest and likeable. Someone with a lot of experience in life. He didn't become an MP for the money. He is respected away from politics. No skeletons in the closet. Labour should get a landslide victory with him. A proper victory to celebrate.
Are you denying his Tory policiesHow did he win the next 2
The EU had red lines too. That's how 'negotiate' a deal works. If there is no overlap at all between them - then negotiation, as we appear to be seeing from this fiasco, is pointless

Do you still think Jezza is involved in a child abuse cover up because you read it in the Telegraph?

If I would have mentioned him first the normal crew that reword what I say would have told you how bad he is.[/QUOTE]I agree with the reasons for Starmer-didn’t read the post at the time. Which is why I mentioned him here.
I was responding to a poster who said may covered up an abuse scandal. To my knowledge that is a criminal offence so I don’t think I believe that either
Points on May aside you were bullshitting
It was a joint thing between Smith making the Labour party good again and policies from the Tories. Once people saw through him he got out.Absolutely not but if we are judging ‘good’ as successful he was the most successful of all time

Paranoid?Maybe not-it’s a paranoid assumption and I think I’ve shown I’m open to the debate be it Starmer or anyone else. I want Labour in so that these policies get rolled out-don’t really care who it is
I’ve always thought that England is a country that is conservative with a small c. It’s hard to believe a true Labour leader would be able to become PM
Paranoid?
Why is it the same posters jump on nearly every post even if it is in line with what they would like to see? That is why I ignore them most of the time. Sometimes I press the show ignored content tab so I can see what someone has replied to. But all it ever does is get them on my back again.
I am only here for the debate. I am not on here for idiots to constantly take shots at me.
