The Conservatives will need a new leader by then too. Cameron has repeatedly said he'll step aside before 2020. -

And Jeggas favourite beardo gets elected Labour leader. <br><br>
The thing is I'm not convinced he's unelectable in this day and age. If the economy goes south and the Tories do something stupid then his fleece the rich, more handouts policies could get him over the line. <br><br>
Hope Im wrong there but if Qld can vote in a functioning retard like Pallachook then anything can happen. -

<p>Of course he's electable. I've seen a number of his speeches and he comes across very well despite the rubbish in the media.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And especially compared to Miliband who came across as weird he is a million times more electable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And a lot of his policy ideas are supported by the majority of voters</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dropping the idea of a balanced budget. Sensible and economically sound. Especially using QE to finance more needed housing</p>
<p>Not selling off state owned assets and buying back some assets like railways and major utilities.</p>
<p>Not becoming involved in pointless wars</p>
<p>Having doubts about the EU</p>
<p>Dropping student fees</p>
<p>Scrap Britain's nuclear weapons</p>
<p>etc</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Generally he wants to make Britain (and the world) a fairer and more caring society with opportunities for all not just the rich.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But the propaganda media will lie and lie and lie about Corbyn. We can't have someone leading the UK with these dreadful views. It might start a disease that spreads to other countries.</p> -

<p>Comparing the UK to Greece is economic ignorance. Although not as bad as clowns who compare Zimbabwe or Wiemar Germany to any Govt today who does a small amount of "money printing".</p> -
I'll most probably regret this, but could you please tell me what lies the "propoganda" media have brainwashed us with about Corbyn? <br><br>
But yes I agree that he wants a more equitable Britain. A Britain where every person is as poor as the other. -
If you read my post I didn't compare the Uk to Greece. <br><br>
As for belief that Corbyn is electable I now know why you support red peak . Only 20 of his mps support him because they think they have no chance of ever being in govt with a weirdo like Corbyn in charge . The older ones probably remember what life was like when Michael Foot was around . His open borders ideas have probably handed UKIP a lifeline at the expense of more labour votes especially on light of the hordes of " refugees " trying to force their way into Europe.<br><br>
But just like the flag thread I fully expect you to stick your fingers in your ears and say " I'm right and despite crushing evidence to the contrary you're all wrong ". -

<p>There's a differences between EU citizens and refugees. Corbyn is pro the UK accepting more refugees. Or at least not demonizing them.</p>

<p>I think UKIP is mainly pissed off about the open borders EU policy. But unless the UK leave the EU and close their borders (which would mean leaving the single market whihc will not happen even if the EU vote to leave) nothing much can be done about this fact of life.</p>

That's such a weak answer, raise taxes to the levels he wants and watch the money leave the Uk, add emotive words like " desperate" and insinuate that all the assets were sold on the cheap . -

Huh? The UKIP want to leave the EU , I'd imagine there are plenty of labour voters who are horrified by the thought of masses of people turning up unchecked prepared to work for lower wages . Not everyone is as right on as you and Corbyn . -
