If Corbyn is elected it will be a disaster for both Labour, who will become a minor left wing party with only a few seats, and politics in this country generally as there will be no opposition to the Tories for decades.
The days of powerful unions fighting for the underpaid working man are long gone. The country's manufacturing industry has changed dramatically and what is there is more sophisticated. There is no mining industry, a smaller car industry, tiny shipbuilding industry and hardly any steel industry. We are a service industry led country and unions feature less outside the government run areas such as NHS, Civil Service, etc.
Labour need to come up with something that is different to the old left wing party, but also miles away from Blair's "Labour more Tory than the Tory party". I am sure the "New Labour party" that John Smith had in mind was not the sell out to the bankers and Murdoch's of this world that Blair gave us. I also think Smith would not have held hands with Bush and dragged us into the mess that is now the Middle East.
I won't say anymore because my head is still aching from yesterdays activities.
