Too many Labour members have swallowed the Kool Aid. It's more a cult than a party now.


That is just a lazy and offensive stereotype.

Most of us actually want what we believe is best for this country (and better than what we have now).

But then as a cult member, I would say that.

I know the reason you post these polls is part of the narrative of undermining Corbyn at every turn... get it into people's heads that he's a loser and therefore not worth backing. A self-fulfilling prophecy.

Why don't you, you know, just for a change, talk about his policies? I wouldn't even mind if you slated them. At least you'd be engaging with them instead of this dirty underhand stuff all the time.


Also as Glassers knows to his cost, the polls aren't ultimately that relevant.

But as for him looking at policies (the evidence again) it'll be the usual duck, dodge, dismiss and smear. Policies just don't serve his agenda.

How on earth is linking the latest polls, and speculating on whether Boris will call a GE on the strength of them, using “dirty underhand stuff”?

Odd that when Labour were leading the polls you were quite keen to discuss them.

I've said on many occasions I hold no truck with polls. You love them though - so if Labour go ahead I post them to take the piss out of you.

It's not just the linking of polls - it's the whole narrative of undermining Corbyn at every turn. Posting any poll that puts the Tories ahead is just a very small part of that. You know why you do it, I know why you do it, everyone knows why you do it.

Here's your opportunity to discuss policies. Fill your boots!

Indeed. A socialist leader of a socialist party. How odd. Perhaps instead of grumbling about Corbz, these pearl clutching disaffected types should just swallow the sh1t and vote Labour regardless, much like when we had to for the 'New Labour' project.

Just a thought.

I think his socialism is exactly why he gets such bad press. It happened to Wilson, happened to Foot and now it's happening to Corbyn. The message is clear: follow in the Blair/Cameron mould or be forever 'unelectable' through the lens of the press.

I'm not saying he doesn't have his baggage, but it's exacerbated to such an extent by the press for obvious reason.


I remember when Ed Miliband and his radical leftist policies were the biggest threat Britain faced.

He narrowly lost the Gen Elec, let's be fair, and it's pretty much a hung parliament where nothing can be done. Who cares about council elections really in the grand scheme of things? Labour run plenty of councils.
The Maximum Leader is a lifelong campaigner and is very good at it. When the GE comes - and youre right, one is very much on the way - I think he will surprise a lot of people once again.

Which was before the loss of Scotland to the SNP.

It's based on the starting point. Most polls gave Labour NO chance. They were miles behind.

I hope you're not lumping the SNP in with populism.

Within the UK, they're about the only functioning alternative to the Tories and Tory-Lites at present.

You will know more than I, and there are some good eggs in there seemingly, but aren't they just the Lib dems north of the border? Red Tories or Blue Labour as and when is appropriate? Maybe not straight out populism but a sense of saying whatever to get into power.

When are polls ever right! And when have votes translated into seats!! Plus GE is totally different to locals plus there may or may not be tactical voting like in by elections.

The country is fooked. That so many gullible idiots have been won back to the Tories through the empty rhetoric and bluster of a total charlatan is really worrying. I guess you end up with the politicians you deserve, may as well embrace the country going down the toilet until I can emigrate to an independent Scotland or maybe New Zealand.

They're politicians so yes, they are politically motivated.

But they're seeing the issues on the ground, working as the Scottish Government and having to implement and defend their policies directly. Contrast that with the demagogue populists and ethno-nationalists like Farage and Johnson who will straight-up lie and never take responsibility, even in power.

The SNP makes the case that independence is the way forward. Whether that's right or wrong, nobody can deny that Scotland compares very poorly at present economically and socially with its similar European neighbours, most of whom don't have all the advantages as Scotland.

So it's a question more about whether you agree with their ultimate solution than their day-to-day, common sense policies which are centre-left and could easily be proposed by Labour or the LibDems.

But that's where the LibDems and Scottish Labour miss the point. Nothing about the Westminster system they are beholden to suggests Scotland's (or any other marginalised region, class, community or industry in the UK) lot will improve as much as it should.

Corbyn might stand a chance of showing that Scotland can get what it needs within the UK as his policies are similarly common sense and "modern" within 21st Century Europe. But when the establishment politicians, media and those who believe them so unquestioningly are trying to smear Corbyn and dismiss his message at every turn then that prospect doesn't look great. Never mind that the next Labour leader might just as easily lurch back to their pointless but vote-winning centrism.

I don't see why anyone wouldn't for an interim government. Unless you're a LibDem who thinks they must use their leverage while they have it for party political reasons.

LibDems using their leverage hasn't worked that well for the country in recent times. Or for them.
