Keeps her word? There’s more chance of Corbyn voting for it (as it is) than Swinson or any Lib Dem. maybe they’d get a people’s vote on it if it looks like they’re going to lose otherwise, but the Tories won’t have that, so... not happening.

Yes, let Kier take over, win the election and then try and get your favourite 5 policies through rather than staying in charge, losing the election and not getting any through.  

A Labour leader that could win an election? That's so 1997. It's all about closing the gap nowadays.

I don’t really get why this was negged, other than Rico being a dribbling spastic. Seems like one of Rico’s few attempts at actually sharing an opinion rather than being a troll.

Fair enough. I do want Labour to win and get policies enacted, and I think Starmer (who, although not saying it, you seem to be against) has something about him that Corbyn doesn’t that could help make that happen. Anyway, that’s a matter for Labour members. I suspect there will be somebody quite different from Starmer who ends up taking over from Corbyn.

If Ed Milliband was labelled as Red Ed and the idea of the SNP being in a coalition brought anger and outrage to the media whilst the Tories can break the law, close down parliament and go into a coalition with the DUP and that's all fine. What real chance does any Labour leader have unless they suck Murdoch's dick whilst taking it up the arse from Lord Rothmere.

If a Labour government had produced the utter chaos of the last few years, we'd never hear the last of it. Christ, the Winter of Discontent 40 years ago is still cited as reason not to vote Labour.

Couple of points about Starmer, considering he had an extensive legal background the role he does requires a person to be lawyerly and technical. You would expect him to shine especially as Brexit is ever present. May appointed David Davies as his opposite number. You often hear people moan about Corbyn appointing Abbott but never any acknowledgement he appointed Starmer. 

 

Anybody who runs on a platform to the left of New Labour will be savaged. I would assume Keir Starmer career as a public prosecutor will be taken apart should he ever drift from a  position the likes of Murdoch, Blair and Mandelson dislike. I know a fair few who wouldn't vote for a man who has accepted a knighthood as well. Anyway Labour are (wrongly) obsessed about choosing a women and I would assume as he has only been an MP since 2015 unless Corbyn stays until 2022 the odds are stacked against Starmer.

I'd like to see them try that. From everything I've read and heard, it's pretty much untouchable. He basically went straight from Labour Young Socialists to locking up terrorists and being a human rights lawyer in a way that earned him a Knighthood. He's not a career politician, he's not a closet Tory (and some on the left will almost make out as if he's a right wing POS... just because, you know, reasons), he's named fucking Keir, but it's still not good enough for a big group of Labour members (again, I absolutely support their right to chose whomever they like, just as I have the right not to like it). 

 

I bet it's somebody like Long-Bailey. After all, she has a vagina.
