    Probably, but I'd need to have confidence they had the skills set do it, and be satisfied they don't squander it on nonsense, as the unions do with their funds.

    Sorry you're right, we shouldn't really express views that don't conform to the mainstream.

    Wow. Must be quite comforting having such a simple almost childlike view of society as you do.

    Give them a chance then mate - that's the only way you'll find out.

    If they renege or fail, then I'll be the first to admit it.

    My apologies. I was thinking more in terms of pulling out of the Women's Hour interview and refusing to be interviewed by Jon Snow rather than the leadership debate. I think Corbyn changing his mind wasn't too clever.

    It's not the only way to find out. Their past actions are a guide too.

    One bloke seemingly doing well preaching to the converted (short term) hardly makes his party the new messiahs.

    Probably because a Tory voter might heckle corbyn but a labour militant might blow up the stage or throw a petrol bomb. Savages.

    Their actions are unproven.

    I hate the EU. It's a capitalist neoliberal institution and you won't see me defending it after what it's done to the Greek working-class. I just find it ironic that right-wing Brexiters wanted to 'get rid of the EU elite' but are happy with a carbon copy in Westminster because they're British.

    They have decades in politics and life, and their ideology has had longer.

    It always gets twisted into somehow being about funding the unemployed. Fact is, high earners have been enabled by governments for some time now to pay less and less tax whilst at the same time funding for all sorts of things that benefit everyone (such as below examples) is no longer available, or just pittance remains -

    - Infrastructure
    - NHS
    - Policing
    - Transport
    - Education
    - Environment protection
    - Housing

    I'm sure I missed lots out, that was just off the top of my head.

    We're at the point now where current and future generations simply do not have the same opportunities that previous ones did. If you're lucky enough to be born into a rich family then you might be ok, but many millions of people are not.

    People are waking up and realising that a rebalancing needs to take place, but it's a hard fight against biased press & politicians who themselves gain from this.

    In my opinion.

    Who says they're right wing or happy with the Government?

    It's too simplistic to try to pigeon hole and bracket people like that.

    "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."

    The first person of this campaign to weaponise The Abbott.

    You'll start banging on about the IRA next.
