The new labour leader...
Labour seem to be going through the same cycle as the conservatives did in electing leaders post 97...
If Jeremy Corbyn is Labour's leader there may not be a way back - Telegraph |

Re: The new labour leader...
Seems to me that people around the world are just getting fed up with politicians who are more concerned with getting a fat job after they're kicked out of power than serving the people who elect them. I think Corbyn would be an awful PM, but he certainly seems to be offering people something other than 'more of the same'.

I think the better comparison is the same cycle that Labour had between 1980 and 1994, when it took 12 years to reinvent themselves and find a leader with enough charisma to lead the party to a general election victory. The analogy even extends to the schism that took place in 1981, which appears likely to be repeated if Jeremy Corbyn is elected Labour leader.

I agree that the party is heading for another potential SDP-style split. It took Labour another 15 years to be re-elected after the last one. Do they really want to go down that road again?

Re: The new labour leader...
I agree with a lot of his politics. I think that the article is a bit misleading.
One interesting point from it was the quotes. Boris Johnson: "It would be very complacent and wrong to ignore the truth of some of the observations he is making about ways in which society could be better. We should be humble about that." Fair play Boris, respect where it is due. |

Boris is brilliant. He should be the PM. No doubt he will be at some stage in the future.

If he becomes PM, will he be proscribed from being US President?
