No. Just look at the opinion polls. Labour is at an all time low. Compare him with May.



No contest. This is what matters.

I think you are missing the point. Just because someone gets elected the boss of their club doesn't mean that the rest of the country's clubs are going to allow him to be the boss of them too.

Labour policies under Corbyn will no doubt be laudable, progressive and about social justice, but what's the point of that if they never get to put those polices into practice?

..and they won't be, barring some unforeseen economic disaster throwing out the Tories.

Opinion polls can't mean too much where there isn't compulsory voting. The only opinions that count are from actual voters.

Disagree. How else are going to gauge opinion? Compulsory voting is not a good option. We scrapped it.

I'm talking about the accuracy of polls. Not whether compulsory voting is good or not.

The polls probably have it right though in terms of public perception.

Agree. It is all about perception. People perceive that Corbyn is unelectable.

Principle :banghead: Because it would mean that the party supports it's history, morality and purpose rather than being Thatcher- Lite just to get votes .
What is the point of an election, at all, if you only get to vote into government one of the two branches of conservatives ?

Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe before the rich man's frown,
And haul the sacred emblem down."
