    Also that he's actually done rather well and polls suggest more seats than Red Ed.

    Aye but I was never in any doubt that he'd do anything elwe but rather well.

    The Blair bunch will never support him fully. They will forfeit their principles to survive though.

    That's exactly what PLT wrote. Blair was a Tory in Labour clothing.

    I think most the country doesn't want to go as far left as Corbyn or as far right as the Tories. Somewhere in between would have won it by a landslide IMO. Both parties dropped the ball a bit.

    Very funny as in August 2016 the Tories printed £70 billion to give to the banks.

    Corbyn really isn't that far left when compared to other Governments like Canada & Norway.

    Canada have actually one of the better (if not the best) performing current economies. They also have similar anti-austerity policies to what JC & the Labour Party are promoting.

    Our current economy is failing in comparison.

    That's very simplistic way of looking at it, you seem to have ignored the fact that you need to find £150b to re-nationalise these industries and then the revenue instantly falls as Corbyn's promised to knock £220 a year off everybody's bills.

    This is ignoring the fact that when it becomes a monopoly again, it will become inefficient, badly managed and underfunded and the profits will collapse anyway.

    Post Brexit London will swallow up the vast amount of money that will be available after leaving the EU.
    We'll see what kind of regional development cash is left over

    There have been no local issues in this election, the entire campaign has been based purely on voting Conservative or Labour.

    Ask Bummers....
