I'm saying this purely as a disaffected member of Labour - residing in the Progress (centre/New Labour) faction.
I mean a Corbyn government would be better than a May government but I don't think socialism nor conservatism is the best way forward for our country at the moment. Will Labour ever return to the centre (say 1994?) I think there definitely would be fertile ground if Labour loses the next election. Labour should be performing much better with the current NHS crisis. |

We really don't need any more neolib leaders. These governments have been misleading the public for almost 40 years. Even neolib think tanks like Mont Pelerin say that if left unchecked it will reach crisis point (as is happening now). There's only one way to stop it steamrolling on and that's intervention. There's a big economic crash on its way and as that unfolds, the public won't need to be persuaded that there is, as Thatcher always said, 'no alternative'.

It is just a hope though... these promises tend to fall flat when it comes right down to it. |

I would like both parties to gravitate nearer the centre.
Not too far, but left of centre and right of centre is a good compromise I reckon. |

Yes but after some redress towards the left as to policy first, after a too large drift to the right.
Done by Tony Blair and then this awful lurch to the right under the Coalition firstly. Then with this more extreme right wing govt.the last near 3 years. |

Hopefully not no, just remember too that if it wasn't for the sad passing of left of centre John Smith there would have been no right of centre Blair, we are only returning to the place that is traditionally the Labour position....
We have the torys and the lib dems for the centre right and the right why is it not acceptable to have Labour back in touch with their left of centre ideology?

Officially at this time the next UK general election is May 2022. So thats well after Brexit. That Labour Leader (Live Sunday ITV) has stated we will leave the Single market by then. Corbyn was Anti EU for many years when he was younger. He states he wants something like the single market but so do the Conservatives. People like MP Chuka Umunna are not in the Labour Cabinet his views are Not Valid Corbyn can be better than Pathetic May its all to play for............................

He is the Legit Labour Leader no one can take his place he won it clear. You may Hate him but its possible he can be in Power in 2022. due to the numbers of votes. Like that Pathetic last General Rushed Election when PM MAY , failed and had no choice but get the DUP to join her. After that she reset another 5 years Its all in the Maths. |
