Labour Leadership Contest

[lifetime fan]

I can't actually think of much I do disagree with him about, although I'm probably to the left of what he's campaigning on.

 

Although I reckon he's probably a fair bit to the left of what he's campaigning on as well.

Rotating parliament.

 

Although I'd duck off Westminster agreed.

Aren't we all, to some extent, uncaring?

 

I dread to think how many lives the discretionary income I spend on unnecessary shite could save in the third world if donated to an appropriate charity.

 

There's nothing wrong with a disposable income and buying whatever shite you want.

Sorry, mate, genuinely haven't understood any of this post.

Burnham, has changed his position a little, and has moved from starting his campaign in traders offices in the financial centre of London, and is now talking re-nationalisation of the railways.  However, all he's doing is copying little bits of what Corbyn has been offering  from the start.  If anything, it makes him look weaker.

 

 

And today I hear he'd abolish tuition fees. Deeply unimpressed.

His announcement for tomorrow, at the very least, should be the sacking of his campaign team

He'll be wearing an open collared shirt and vest next.

Burnham to me feels like he has zero conviction on anything, he will flow whichever direction suits his best personal interests. Power at any costs this is my time to shine. Piss off,  I will be putting him bottom of my list.

Look silly with no beard.

Really? Telegraph, Times, Mail, Express, S*n, Independent, Guardian and even The Mirror have been steadfastly anti-Corbyn. The Mirror mildly so because it's behind Burnham, but it's columnists refer to a potential Corbyn vote as madness, and while they failed to make much of Corbyn's re-nationalisation proposals they were all over Burnham's announcement on the railways yesterday.

 

However, luckily there are voices being heard in comment columns, blogs, social media and the odd article which are countering that and have seen a groundswell of support.

 

 

Sorry, I should have said other than main stream media, blogs mainly. I've been avoiding social media allot lately, its better for my health, temper and blood pressure.

He's washing his face with Miracle-Gro.

Corbyn has said he'd get rid of Westminster and have a rotating parliament England/Scotland/Wales etc. (I was cooking so apologies if he meant a regional rotating parliament but I don't think he did).

 

I'd rather see more devolution so would be against that.

 

But the point remains bar myself standing as an MP there isn't one that would represent my views 100%, he's doing a pretty fucking good job so far though.

[lifetime fan]

Although I agree with his point that the bill for renovating parliament is going to be obscene and they could easily build a brand new facility (without subsidised bars!) far more suited to its needs without a fucking House of Lords.

 

 

EDIT: @ Jairz. I also don't agree with his view on PR.

Oh right, I get you now.

I do agree with his view on PR which is to have a PR system that retains a constituency link.

 

I'm really not all that bothered which building they sit in.

I'd agree with that. But that isn't what he said.

 

He'd keep the current system and look at a top up from PR.

[lifetime fan]

These really are small potatoes though mate.

 

There are areas I disagree with him on, big fucking deal.

 

He's a man of principle and I could hate his view point and still respect him because of that.

 

As it is there's bits I disagree with and a fucking lot I do. I'm even thinking of giving the cunts £3 to vote for him.

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, I've paid the £3.

 

It's worth a shot.

[lifetime fan]

I've argued for a long time the Labour Party will never get another penny out of me until they earn it.

 

I'm now put in a position if Corbyn doesn't win the leadership election there'll never be another 'Labour Party'.

[Jairzinho]

I don't see how anyone on the left can pass this up. £3, and either we get a proper left wing leader of a major party for the first time for decades or one of the other three wins and it's clean break time.

It's the dilemma I'm dealing with at the moment.

[Jairzinho]

It can't continue indefinitely. People can't allow themselves to be blackmailed into voting Labour forever. If our version of democracy no longer offers anything then we'll have to seek alternative routes.

So what does Labour have to do to earn your £3?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I want governments to stay where it is. We don't need to build a polytechnic just because of a few twats.
