Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

Of course it does.

 

PR only works if the emphasis is on voting for a party. If the emphasis  (as in Corbyn's tweet, which you say you agree with) is on the individual candidate, then FPTP preserves the link between the MP and the constituents.

 

(At least, that's the theory.)

Edmund Burke wrote the model which is supposed to be followed to this day . MP's are elected as representatives not delegates.

 

Quote

"Constituents elect their representatives as 'trustees' (or 'entrust' them) for their constituency. ... Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgement; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion".

Centrism is Thatcherism with diversity quotas.

 

Can't disagree with him-

Live scenes as the Labour and Conservatives parties deny they are in a crisis

I think this is a good thing the more i think about it. I'd rather have them away from the party than still there and trying to undermine everything.

Why hasn't Vince Cable took them into the Lib Dems? Is there some rule that forbids it? because it seems like an obvious open goal for them.

Oh, right. Well it depends what type of PR you have. Two of the most commonly discussed systems are AV+ and STV with multi member constituencies. AV+ combines constituency elections with a party vote. STV with MMC has large constituencies with several MPs. Although none of this was really my point.

Because, with one or two exceptions, they're not natural Lib Dems?

More importantly, how much did Stronts pay for that tattoo?

Both Corbyn and May seem to be under strong pressure from Remain MPs today. Will there be a backlash tomorrow? 

[Creator Supreme]

Genuinely bored of them, I would pack in though if I was Corbyn, I've said it from the start he could cure cancer and solve world hunger and the MSM and PLP would still lay in to him!

 

The PLP is infested by some of the biggest cunts on the planet, the exact reason why I joined the greens!

This is an astoundingly ridiculous interview snippet from Jess Phillips on C4 News. 

 

I mean, come on now? Why isn't she even challenged when she spouts such untrue bullshit?

I'm amazed she's not joined the gimps because she fucking is one!

I think in the case of the ex-Labour MPs, they'd be precluded from rejoining the Labour party if they joined another one. Not that they're likely to be welcomed back with open arms as it is...

They will be when Corbyn throws his hand in and Fatty Watson takes over!

[Mudface]

Ha. Fortunately, we're unlikely to have that particular horror inflicted on us. That snide fuck has maxed his level.

We got told yesterday that councillors are going to privatise the property function and essentially ship everything out to the likes of Mitie or Kier. Sat in the office and the guy next to me said he's going to vote Labour this time after voting Tory all his life. Having listened to years of anti-Labour diatribes from most people I work with and him, Is it okay to think he's a cunt?

It won't matter if Corbyn starts a new party off. I think he should go for either the CCC - Corbyn Communist Crew, or the CAA - Corbyn Allotment Anarchists. I think he should convert to Judaism too.
