    why would there be a problem with a Labour Leader that

    -is a pacifist and doesn't believe in self defence
    -refuses to condemn the people who exploded bombs in Warrington high street, or in the two pubs in Birmingham or the Hotel in Brighton or the other atrocities
    -who maybe thinks opening the mines might be a good thing
    -who gathers round him people openly racist

    Perhaps he is too moderate? :)

    you should vote for policies and not for the Corbyn you admire so much; or is that what you're are doing?

    The inevitable destruction of the PLP by the great masses of 'young people' with their delusional ideological beliefs and complete lack of realism.

    Followed by four years of bitter in-fighting and incompetent opposition peppered with lies, threats, back door union-inspired deselections and party whip resignations.

    Then a GE massacre leading to the complete take over by the crazed socialist loons by blaming the few remaining chukka-clones for all their woes.

    At least we'll end up with a traditional (I.e. Unelectable but happy) Labour Party.

    Were I a member, I would vote for anyone but Corbyn and his looney lackies.

    One assumes that the party will split though. A Corbyn manifesto will be like returning to the dark ages.

    So many people with such short memories.

    Those who voted Brexit believed Bremain would win.
    Those who voted Bremain believed Bremain would win.
    A few, like me, spoilt their ballot paper, and believed Bremain would win.
    And 11,000,000 odd people didn't give a rats @rse, and didn't vote.

    And now Corbyn is on the ballot paper. Wait and see what happens shall we..._
