Don't have a bike, out of interest the turnout in the southern railways strike vote was 81%.
Perhaps we should have used 80% turnout for EU referendum after all it's more important than the odd strike.
306 people can cost the UK economy millions.
Also I bet the thousands inconvenienced would vote this minority out of a job given half a chance. .0 -

Beginning to think you're a hardcore tory in disguise. That's the only group who are going to benefit from a Corbyn led Labour party.0 -
Corbyn FTW - in spite of the machinations of the party apparatchiks in the PLP, the rightist campaign of Smith will be squashed.0

Indeed. Then what?
In the current YouGov poll Corby is leading 62% to 38%. The poll also shows members who joined before May last year back Mr Smith by 68% to 32%. So the numbers are more than reversed among newer members. That is a massive problem.There has clearly be a large scale takeover of the LP.
With 20% of Smith voters saying they will leave and a further 15% undecided the party will be left to the loony lefties.
This is probably the end of the LP. I guess that is what a LibDem like yourself and the other newbies want?0 -

For someone who hates the tories (allegedly) supporting Corbyn is certainly a nod to continued tory leadership.
Remember that thing called a majority, that's required to govern. The Conservatives have one, by splitting Labour you're just increasing that majority by splitting the opposition. Round of applause for Comrade Corbyn and his disciples!0
