Do you really want Corbyn to be PM

[JohnD]

Unlikely.

Why do you suppose Virgin Trains and the right-wing media put so much effort into attacking him when he pointed out that privatised railways are expensive and provide a poor standard of service?

They even rushed out a carefully-edited video to give the false impression that he had been on a train with lots of empty seats.

My first thought when he offers criticism to anything is he never offers readily a viable alternative.

Prime example, Brexit. Vote for me he says, I'll do a better job. Yeah great, how. Until this week we didn't even know their unified position on another referendum.

If he wants my vote, he has to earn it. Pointing and shouting Tories bad isn't the way to do it.

What makes me think that Gove and his buddies are scared that Corbyn will win?

the OP shows Gove was attacking him following the vote of no confidence.

Thats not constantly attacking.

JohnD is being defensive -clearly disappointed by his leaders poor poll ratings

 

[JohnD]

If he wants my vote

There's no point in him trying to please you.

You like Yaxley-Lennon and his ilk.

You won't vote Labour.

Pointing and shouting Tories bad isn't the way to do it.

But pointing and shouting "Corbyn bad" works on you.

 

[JohnD]

not constantly attacking.

Out of interest, please name a month in the last two years when Corbyn has not been under attack in the right-wing media.

If you can.

I've been old enough to vote in 3 GEs, in two of which I voted labour.

Up to you if you believe it or not, can't say it bothers me if you don't.

I agree; he's just a protester.

Worst sort of person to work with; the naysayer. Every initiative is met with "It'll never work"-type responses, but never a positive suggestion themselves.

So Grayling positive suggestions are better.

You cant deny hes not active.

Its a fair point he's been in opposition for a long time so really saying no is what those in opposition do.

Unfortunately our political system needs reforms. Policies first personalities second.

Problem then is the public need to be well informed on what constiutes good policy.

If you can.

Ive no doubt opposition leaders have been attacked every month for the last 50 years or more. Whats your point.

Please name a month where the conservatives have not been criticised as well.

Also perhaps you might want to include a month in the last 2 years when Corbyn hasnt been attacked by labour party members, MPs or supporters.

Here we go. It's not Corbyns fault he can't win a majority, it's the system.

You do think like a quitter.

You're talking about rice-pudd and buffoon.

Have you seen their Brexit plan?

No, because they've never produced anything but hot air.

 

[transam]

well I wont be voting for the bloke

wont be voting for johnson either

Infact come to think of it I wont be voting at all

 

[motorbiking]

In what way. I thought No Deal according to many brexiteers would benefit us greatly.

There certainly was a time when it might have been a valid option, there may be a time in the future when it could work. But a couple of weeks before D-Day is getting hard to argue.

Corybn's strategy seems very anti-wealth and anti-business. More power/money to the workers/poorer at the expense of the companies and wealthy. Their money is very portable in this day and age, so a Corbynite Britain might find hammers middle-classes, high unemployment and a mass exodus of business who frankly stay, because the "rent" is cheap.

If you look at some of the innovation hubs of Europe, they are fundamentally thriving because the local state is handing out incentives. Whether it is low takes on Intellectual property income (Denmark), rebates on business rates (malaga), low corporation tax (Dublin) low sales tax etc.
