They aren't going to win a GE with any of the doughnuts on the ballot. I say we all sit back and laugh as Labour goes postal on itself.Well, according to the internet, Jesus Corbyn is the Saviour and Lord of the future of Labour.
He's not going to do much for marginal seats if he was leader, however...
Yes.Does it matte who wins?
Do you think any of the candidates can galvanise the Labour party into anything resembling a capable opposition?Yes.
Because we need a capable opposition, the SNP can't do it on their own.
No. Unfortunately.Do you think any of the candidates can galvanise the Labour party into anything resembling a capable opposition?
Unfortunately Labour has lost the 2020 election already. The only hope they have is that the Tories implode by perhaps being more nasty than currently.Well it is certain to be one of them....
which rules out any hope for the next general election.
Unfortunately they seem to have very few up and comers who have made any sort of mark to take things to the next level in the near future.
There seems to be no obvious opposition leader in any party to keep the Tories in bounds either.
We have had a coalition government...perhaps we need a coalition opposition.
Do you think anyone at all in the Labour party could achieve this?No. Unfortunately.
Corbyn may well be a more competent opposition leader than the other three, though it depends on how the press reports him asking serious questions at PMQs & Cameron responding iwth ridicule rather than answering the question (cf Kinnock vs Thatcher)Yes.
Because we need a capable opposition, the SNP can't do it on their own.

Fair enough. It seems most eurosceptics in both parties are taking this let's wait and see approach, can't really understand it myself when the EU's fundamental problems are to do with the sovereignty of nations and so go to the institution's very core, and certainly cannot be reformed.Well, that would be a good start! Unfortunately,
In a statement released to the Guardian, Corbyn said: “Labour should set out its own clear position to influence negotiations, working with our European allies to set out a reform agenda to benefit ordinary Europeans across the continent. We cannot be content with the state of the EU as it stands. But that does not mean walking away, but staying to fight together for a better Europe.”
So he is, therefore, spineless, and is hopping along on the status-quo train. He hasn't a definite position--but holds a let's wait and see approach.

I, therefore, have no time for Mr. Corbyn.
Who else are you going to vote for?

Nobody likes Blair except the tories.I don't know why mainstream left-liberals don't like the current government. It is, after all, led by the self-proclaimed heir to Blair.
What like the Queen?Jeremy Taylor said:Corbyn is a disgrace. A friend to Sinn Fein and the likes of Gerry Adams.
