Seven gone from Labour 10:28 - Feb 18 with 21491 views

Three more than went to form the SDP back in 1981. Interesting times for the Labour Party and for politics in general.

Poll:

Where will Clive put QPR in his new season preview

Labour has become like the post-Major Tories, incapable of selecting a leader that has any chance of winning an election. David Miliband would have crushed it - so they chose Ed. And then Corbyn, who Konk has very accurately summarised.

Poll:

QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Fair enough Robith. You've got your reasons for not liking her and I can respect that. I would just like to see someone leading Labour who might actually win an election as I'm guessing you might as well?

Like who?Shall they go for another Tory light like bliar?
Unfortunately the only way we’ll live to see another Labour government is if they abandon all the principles that lead to the foundation of the party.
They have to appeal to enough people to get elected and that means another move to the centre ground in order to poach some moderate tories.
That will also mean that they’ll lose my vote,but what’s 1 vote if they can get enough to form a government?

Be funny if they go on to win the next GE then. The mainstream media view is very often at odds with reality. Unsurprisingly, since it is owned by a bunch of vested interest groups, and most journalists are coopted one way or another. But the referendum result was a big shock to them. Ditto Trump. Could be the same with Corbyn.

The last GE result Labour defied most of the predictions. Sure, May gave them a helping hand by being such a hapless doofus, but even so. Now these latter-day neoliberals have left the Labour party, it's in a much better position, IMO. They can offer a clear alternative to the current incumbents. Which is something the so-called 'Independent Group' (what an ironic name!) cannot do.
