Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Diane Abbot saying the result shows the mood of the country. In fact, all it indicates is the moid of the activists. The polls show little appetite for Corbyn in the electorate.

I voted for Corbyn using my cat's name - Simon. I have some friends who voted for him 2, 3, and 4 times.

Nearly 80% turnout of registered members, and Corbyn stuffs the other three.
The PLP is going to have a problem if they want to out him.

Your cat probably is more able to make intelligent choices than you can!

It is an interesting choice and will be interesting to see how he reorganises the Labour party and I think his values will have more appeal to Middle England and younger members of society than the present corrupted tory party.
At least he smells honest and "sincere".
V.I. to watch.

From memory, Ald was too strange for me and you are of a similar ilk.
I would think both of you as from the same planet as the tinker!

Be nice if you stopped referring to people who don't hold your view as Hitler and a racist or a BNP/EDL sympathiser of which i am none . You show a very closed mind and lack of intelligence .

There was a 76.3% turnout in the Labour leadership election. Corbyn got 59.5% of the vote. That makes 45.4% of the Labour voters chose Corbyn. But that was only 251,00 of 422,000 the people who voted. There are 45.6m registered voters. That means 0.48% of the electorate voted for Corbyn. Not only is that a minute number of supporters, but they are all activists.

Can you remind us all, how many votes Cameroon got to become leader?

That is not relevant. I was talking about Corbyn's potentially low appeal to the voters.

It puts Corbyn's win into perspective when you think that Cameron took 68% of the votes of his party members in his leadership win in 2005. There is so much fuss about Corbyn because it was unexpected and so unpopular with Labour MPs.
