He's a vegetarian, doesn't drive and doesn't drink.

I'm suspicious of all three of those traits in a man.

He's a 'ban them all' type when it comes to guns too.

Very rum.

Can I ask then why Labour made such a big deal about the common man being able to help choose the next Labour leader to represent their views, when all they really did was contribute £3 a pop for no influence whatsoever? I assume Labour will be giving this money back then?

I have heard this 'reported' on a number of occasions but cannot find definitive figures. I have also heard it 'reported' that there has also been a lot of people leaving! Do you have the net figures?

Yes it's been reported but net figures are hard to find.

Labour says it has more than 352,000 members due to more than 40,000 signing up since 10 September. No news of how many resigned since then.

Why would it be a disappointment? Any surge in membership presumably comes from those attracted to Corbyns student politics making them less and less electable.

Too mundane to bother, even with the likes of wiki and google. 30 seconds was a bit of a waste the first time around.

Equally sorry to disappoint but a few tens of thousands of lefties signing up during a honeymoon period in 2015 won't make a shred of difference in 2020.

Are you saying that the few tens of thousand, for that's what it is, is significant compared with the tens of millions who are eligible to and do vote?

Considering the membership is still way below what it was in the late nineties and is, in any case, rising from an historical low, I can't see how it's at all significant, especially given the increase in the electorate during that period. The numbers are tiny, with or without the £3 infiltrators, who will no doubt not be renewing their memberships.

So much snivelling rhetoric wasted it's almost a crime

That's an internet 101 which you don't seem ready for on your Access Course level.

It's been pointed out a couple of times now that the original post asked a question, it didn't make a claim or state a position. Therefore, it cannot be conclusively proven wrong.

Even legzr1 gets that..."your 'question' has been answered" which nevertheless doesn't alter the original position from a question to a statement or claim, simple really.

Reading and Comprehension 101 is over there ---> next door to the Economic Literacy class for lefties (badly attended as ever).

Irony running deep as usual.

[turbobloke]

As this thread is about Corbyn and Labour both currently disaster zones it's hardly surprising that diversion central is busy on a mission.

You Gov poll after Corbyn speech - Labour no change.

So much for his 40,000 virgin brides.

2015 into the wilderness, 2020 a pair of losers.

[turbobloke]

How much lefty money and how many lefty shirts are riding on a Corbyn win?

The man is in the news because he's a laugh a minute joke of a politician and the BBC will always be there, apart from that it's goodnight.

Caution from a lefty rag: Pollster John Curtice warns Labour a majority in 2020 is 'improbable'

Keep those shirts on.

Caution from a righty rag: Jeremy Corbyn two thirds of voters say he won't win 2020 general election

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/Jeremy_Corbyn/11...

Some betting odds you can get on the Corbyn exit date, for mild amusement only:

2015 7/1
2016 2/1
2017 9/2
2018 5/2
2019 12/1

Honeymoon over then sooner rather than later on that basis.

Comrades,it may be intersting to note that in 96 when I started Uni I joined the suident union. A week or so later my labour party membership came through, along with a personalised message from that centralist traitor turncoat tony blair.

There are some comments out there around the lack of real world support, which as you rightly point out is going to decline even in Labour dreamworld. For other-worldly viewpoints, there's always the BBC and The Guardian.

Including TB, there's three of us who know that.

It seems that's how the game is played on here and it's a fantastic way of upping posts counts and getting threads to 100+ pages.

Anyway, rugby....

Who gives a fk?

Seriously. There's always a mong element. There's always idealistic but naive youngsters. There are always Toynbee type hand wringers. That's who is signing up for Corbyn.

Real people, i.e. the majority of us who own property, pay taxes, own shares and have pensions are not signing up for Corbyn. And will not be voting for Corbyn.

Which group is orders of magnitude larger, will remain larger and has a wider spread in the country?

The only reason he's getting so much attention is because he's quite clearly a) not wanted by his PLP peers and b) he's so completely unelectable we can't quite believe how Labour have ended up with him as leader.

But then this is Labour we're talking about.
