I've not missed the point and the fact that you posted stuff like this at an earlier date doesn't give it sort of credibility.

..in fact those that control the money issuance....and the terms on which that money is issued......

...they LOVE...this false argument between right and left......such a lovely distraction for them....a sleight of hand.

........time will tell whether it is credible akabula.......it is here...I cannot delete it......

........I am not in control of whether what I said comes to pass....and neither are you......in the end maths....pure and simple will dictate.....you shuffle numbers and liabilities around for so long ..........but when things unravel it will come very quickly.

Labour have let the British public down badly.  We need a strong and credible opposition to check the excesses of an incumbent government, yet they seem hell bent on self destruction.

I should imagine that they think he is unelectable by the general populace.
By:

but he is the only Socialist of the 4 , so most true labour supporters will get behind him

We can at least agree on that point.

The problem is, Anxious, a Jeremy Corbyn led Labour party is unelectable and, as such, would be totally ineffective opposition to the incumbent Conservative government.

The silly thing is that Jezza isn't too far away from being viable.  A true left-wing candidate, and a 'man of the people' (Laugh) would have a fair amount of appeal. He does really bugger it up, though, by being heavily pro-immigration and pro-EU.

All of the analysts and politicians seem certain that Labour needs to win back the middle classes to get success. But the middle classes never really abandoned them!  30% of those in the A/B social groups voted Labour in 2005. That fell to 28% in 2010, but went back up to 29% last time. So no real fall at all. Same thing with the C1s. 

Where they really lost it, though, was with the C2s and the D/Es.   40% of the D/Es voted Labour in 2005. That fell to just 30% in 2010, and slipped further to 27% in 2015.  That's an absolutely massive drop over 10 years. And most of those were poor working class voters who felt their jobs had been 'stolen' by immigrants. Many of them are anti-EU too. Unsurprisingly, UKIP have picked up quite a few of these voters.   But if Labour wants to win the next election, it needs to ensure it wins them back.  Metropolitan Jezza, though, is unlikely to do that.

It's Left. But it's the wrong sort of Left.  LaughLaugh

He's a fool, though, Anxious.  The country isn't going to elect a watered-down Michael Foot.
