Perspective. Jeremy Corbyn's victory has gained him the largest party mandate in UK's political history.
His hard work in rallies across the UK has reinvigorated Labour's grassroot voters, this hard work has paid off and led to one of the biggest mobilisations in Labour's history.
Who knows, this momentum might continue, but then again it might be a flash in the pan.
Which- also in perspective- needs to be judged against the lowest and cheapest threshold to voting there has ever been in such a contest.
A vote is a vote - the process used by Labour might be judged to be low and cheap by some. But then again, in perspective, this is after all just politics.
I would also note that although he didn't say that JC was devoid of brain he did say: "It was obvious she had a brain."The only way to interpret that would be that JC doesn't data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
And his appointment has lost my vote .. there is no momentum just people who see a opportunity to get ideas that got nowhere when put forward by the parties they use to vote for .. now with Corbyn those policies become Labour policies.. leave Nato disarm are selves of the nuclear shield .. and the terrorist friend , yep it gives a voice to the disaffected , but any good idea he may have for the NHS and benefit system will be lost amongst the above policies.
I find the reactions to Corbyn hilarious, after decades of successive acceptable leaders in the eyes of many we have been left bankrupt with almost everything being cut to the bone and still in recession if the truth be told.
We have a generation who may never be able to afford their own home, many on zero hour contracts with no hope and very little protection from greed and exploitation.We have had illegal wars, we have created an underclass, the gap between the rich and poor has become even more ridiculous than it already was, our armed forces have been drastically cut, we have sold most of our assets....I am stopping as this is depressing but hardly progress is it.
So what policies was Corbyn standing on was he not a MP from 97-2010 if he disagreed so much with the way Labour was run why did he not leave.. he stood election after election on the Labour ticket why ?. I must have stronger principles even though he is being lorded for standing by his principles he stayed .. Where as i will not vote for Corbyns vision of Labour .. Hilarious is those who believe under Corbyn labour will somehow become more relevant .. my question to whom.
Hilarious in the sense that others have done so well and that he will mess up the mess we are in.
I also like to think that he stayed in the Labour Party fully intending to rid it of it's Tory hijackers one day (-:
So Tom Watson is going to be deputy, but in fact disagrees with Corbyn on quite a few rather major issues.
Trident has already been mentioned.
Watson is strongly for the staying in EU? Corbyn is inclined to pull out (although that may change) As for Nato and our armed forces and how they are deployed, even though I don't like Watson at all, he does have his head screwed on.
Yes, I get all these lefties suddenly rejoice that they have been recognised as being principled (pass the sick bag) men, so they form a party and realise that they have totally different principles.
Some one has to change course....
And how can he say people should go along with what he says?
