And of course all those people who put the 'X' in the box that said "Labour" had absolutely no opinion on the leader of the party they were voting for. None whatsoever. They probably didn't even know who he was...
All those people? Less than 300 could be arsed to get out of bed for it. 13% turnout.
If Corbyn really was 'reaching people' and 'appealing to the electorate' you could expect better numbers than that. All that result proves is people couldn't give a f
k about local politics, and that Corbyn isn't the thing that's going to get them down the polling booth.The latter is the point the entire thread has been trying to make to you for several pages. Not that it's having any effect.
I bet you all of those Labour voters knew who Jezza was.

In that particular area he has reached more people and enthused them get up of their arses to vote instead of the other parties.
Not necessarily true. He could have had a lot, some, or no impact- we don't know their motivations to vote one way or the other. JawKnee said:
Labour won this election
True.JawKnee said:

Aye, and I bet the 87% who didn't vote know who he is as well. Doesn't bode well, does it?

They seemingly weren't that fussed about the party led by JC winning or they would have gone out to vote against him/them.
They'll be saving that for an election which matters.You can see the poll above, yes? Rated worse than Kezia Dugdale, and she's a diabolical waste of space. Can you explain why you think he's going to do well at a GE?

Coz it sez so on The Canary.You can see the poll above, yes? Rated worse than Kezia Dugdale, and she's a diabolical waste of space. Can you explain why you think he's going to do well at a GE?
Having had the misfortune to peruse a few Canary articles of late, I can only surmise that they have been taken over by TheDailyMash, and have now become another parody site.
I have not been aware of the Canary as a news site.
Just took a look, it's certainly interesting reading.

Blimey. Owen Smith is making some bloody bold claims in his speech at the moment.
The buses are late because of Tory austerity, and the trains too...... apparently.

t in Wales too because of the Tories. Ok so there's been a Welsh Labour 'Government' in power ever since devolution, and the Welsh NHS gets the same money as the English one per capita. But it's still the Tories fault. Just because. The Labour party do pick um!!! When you see the mediocrity of the people that stand against Corblimey you realise how truly fked Labour are!!!! The first opponent cries on TV then has a press launch that makes a primary school play look professional. The second guy sounds like a 14 year debating the merits of homeopathy!!!!!

I have just been watching part of his speech and the question that always pops into my head as always is.
How are we going to pay for all of this?
How Labour always pays for stuff, print money. How are we going to pay for all of this?
