derek pringle Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 hi all, Most reporters,broadcasters and even a lot of M.P's acknowledge that Jeremy Corbyn has been a man of principle and stood by his beliefs over many years over a lot of subjects, even going against his party whip on many occasions. I just cannot believe a man of principle would aid and abet the complete downfall of a party he loves by hanging on in the face of such odds against him ever moving the Labour Party nearer power and the ability to do anything about the injustices he claims are happening to ordinary people every day. The LEFT have always been a powerful force if they get their claws in to you and I believe this must be what has happened to Jeremy ever since he fell over the line in the leadership battle number 1. I know he had a large majority but he was a stalking horse after all, he could never have envisaged himself as ever being leader. any thoughts cheers derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candapack Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Is he hanging on because at present, there is no-one he can hand over to who will keep the party on the left, and who is electable? Sadly though, the country won't be ready for such a person for a long, long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek pringle Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 hi candapack, I take your point, he wont move aside for a centre ground politician only do it for the next credible leader of a left wing Labour Party. It just seems as you say it will be a long time before that happens. If the Left think they are plausible and appealing they should form another different party, maybe take on UKIP. A shame he is not thinking of the party in which he has earned a good living for many years, I thought it was always 'team before individual'. cheers derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Agreed, Corbyn is a fantastic opportunity for the conservatives and UKIP to move their policies to the right, and get away with it. How ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a certain Mr A Blair, is looking for something to get his teeth into? On second thoughts, there would not be enough money in it for him!
