UK Elections 2015

[Jubal]

Corbyn fever is hitting the Labour leadership contest, with one poll apparently putting him on course to win in the first round without second preferences being needed. Which would be a huge, huge shock on the left of UK politics.

[Pentagathus]

So Corbyn won. Thoughts?

[Jubal]

I like him, though I won't be defecting any time soon as I still think the UK needs a liberal voice as well in politics.

I doubt he'll do very well, though I suspect he won't be as much of a castastrophe as he might be.

[Clockwork]

Socialist scumbag. I hate the guy.

[Jubal]

The sound of nobody being surprised at this is deafening

[Clockwork]

We like to get a mix of opinions over here on the Exilian channel

[Jubal]

Indeed

[Pentagathus]

Yeah thought I could probably guess your response Rob :p . I like him, and I'm very happy to see a conviction politician leading labour but unfortunately I am no socialist, at least not as far as he is. The new labour party might be able to sway my vote if they opt for supporting community and cooperative businesses and services rather than nationalising everything under central government.
