Although they've spent the last 10 brutalising the most vulnerable in society and have been rewarded with a majority.
Fingers crossed
That's so poetic I nearly fainted.
Pretty much this, the labour national party took a decision to go back to their roots in order to combat the slide to the right. Labour being a centre party would have terrible consequences for progressive policies through a consistent slide in the overton window. they wanted to make a stand, but obviously they couldn't get the message out amid the change in politics since trumps campaign.
Tbh he'll want Scotland gone. Too much risk of Labour getting votes and reducing his majority.
Yet you're saying Labour need a centrist candidate...
Yeah leavers would definitely vote Labour just because it's a more likeable leader
Sack Ole.
Wait, you mean they can't move further in again?
Yup. Anyone suggesting something as wild and undemocratic as a more educated vote on Brexit would've had the same fate.Yeah leavers would definitely vote Labour just because it's a more likeable leader
We need a much strong candidate on the left! That’s why that candidate must be on the centre!
Doubt it. He cares too much about his legacy to be the PM when the union broke up and rejecting a second referendum will keep the SNP vote high enough that Labour stay wiped out in Scotland.
Let#s start the blame the youth game again
But that's happening in many countries throughout the world, especially in Europe. The underlying causes for that are deep, with a whole mix of things like rising xenophobia towards migration, wealth inequality being massively exacerbated over the last 10 years due to QE, push back against the EU etc.
Wasn't worth the fight there mate. I was writing a post yesterday questing why people were so convinced all the kids were voting Labour, but thought better of it.
A traditional rightwing party versus a traditional leftwing party, with the traditional result.
I appreciate the sentiment, its a classy post, but unfortunately for me and others who have looked past the surface level discourse, and understand the philosophy behind the ideology's see nothing but abject continued destruction for the most vulnerable people in the country.
Agreed

I didn't say any of that. You said you want real opposition from the left, but you want a Labour leader in the centre not even centre left.
London? Worry about England's North.
I don't think there is any doubt that if this prediction is anywhere near accurate that Corbyn goes.
Okay, but have the right moved to the centre? If not, then what you're saying is essentially that the country has moved right, and Labour following them is going to turn Labour into not-Labour, and the march to the right will continue regardless.
I don't blame the youth, Corbyn was unelectable. It's his fault.
I'm clearly talking centre left though. Clearly.
The people who look to the other side and see Corbyn, Mcdonnell and Abbot.
This need for centrism and compromise only seems to appeal to the left. The right can get as extreme as they want, - see Trump in the US - but the left has to be cautious and centrist and ready to compromise and basically give up any leftist ideals.
