He has been shown to be totally useless as a party leader and as leader of the opposition.
He seems totally out of his depth which of course he is the reality has hit him hard
Checks and balances, perfect opposition to useless May.He seems totally out of his depth which of course he is the reality has hit him hard
Good thing none of the proper inbred tories got into power or we would have had to drop the poor guy onto his head a few times to make him appropriate opposition for them.
Actually on second thoughts, May is the pinnacle of ineptitude.

I think you'll find that's Commrade Corbyn. May at least attempts to do something but is no good at it whereas Corbyn make no secret of the fact that he does the square root of f
k all and is still no good at it. RichB said:

What a sad state of affairs in politics when, mid-term, even with the complete horlicks of Brexit going on! the main opposition political party are losing ground on the incumbents..!
Great to see so many leftie lovies and champagne socialists in a lather over Corbyn and his mad henchfolk though 
maybe they can oust him and have Chuka or some other smug virtue signalling middle class lefty to get back the guilty rich vote !!

A meaningless poll because in a GE the Tories will need a new policy on Brexit that all candidates sign up to. Half prefer "no Deal" to the WA and many of the remainder want as close a relationship with the EU as possible.

I don’t disagree, but Labour will also need a policy.Vaud said:

On Brexit or anything at all? They don't seem to have either...
I'm pretty clear on the other stuff. Take over BoE.
Borrow a lot.
Nationalise a lot.
Give the unions massive power and have uncontrolled wage inflation.
Do it all while trying not to completely alienate the city as they aren't totally stupid and will need the tax revenues.
"Important to have dialogue" when ever there is a crisis and avoid any decisive action.
Add 5 years and call the IMF, leaving a note saying "sorry not only is there no money, but we've buggered everything else up as well"

Similar to my first thoughts. The polls being taken now are snap reactions to current politics, if we take them at face-value. But if there were an election that event in itself would move the polls as scrutiny would move from Brexit to cover everything else.
Just like last time when May had a 20 point lead, but everyone realised she was a f
king idiot when she spoke to the country about other stuff.The problem she has is that her polling now is pretty much purely based on Brexit and Corbyn on Brexit + the left wing loons that are still twisting about Thatcher. Just like last time Cons won't have a choice in how they campaign on Brexit, whether we've left or not, and Labour will mirror that policy in the same mealy-mouthed-something-for-everyone way they did last time and neutralise Brexit, making the vote about other stuff.
Labour aren't going to split if a new party is given a few months to get money, profile and candidates before an election.
The split is interesting though, if the Cons could find a way of making it look like things were calm and nothing until 2022, but force a split, then call an election immediately, that's probably the only way May could win a vote. Won't happen obviously.
What's decisive for me is that regardless of Brexit and everything else, May cannot win an election that she told the Country she wouldn't fight and that the electorate can see has been foisted on them purely to keep Gavin Barwell and his cronies jobs.

5 years is a bit optimistic I think 5 months would be sufficientTake over BoE.
