Jeremy Corbyn

It would appear - in spite of being lampooned in recent weeks - that the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn becoming the leader of the Labour party is growing ever more plausible. Is Jeremy Corbyn the man to restore the nation's interest in politics and trust in politicians?

Frankly, none of the contenders inspire me with any confidence.

I think the Labour party could do with a leader who has the soul of Keir Hardie and the cunning of Harold Wilson.

I see it mostly as an internal labour party matter. It's just been hijacked by the media. I'm pretty ignorant of all these guys.

I hope Corbyn does become leader, then laugh as Labour gets cast into the political wilderness for the next 5 to 10 years.

Only if the infighting continues after the leadership election.

What many in the media forget is that many have turned away from politics because there is no discernable difference between the parties.

An actual opposition is wanted, and there are now whole generation s of 18-30's that have seen no benefit from their government, the opposite in fact in the last few years and now looking into the coming years

So who knows,but I can understand why he is popular over the others, that are tories in red ties

Don't worry the media are very aware of the twenty four by seven news fest that would follow if Corbyn was to be elected leader.

Bet the hacks at the Daily Mail are already slavering at the prospect

Yep. The media parked people outside his Granny's house.

I dunno what they expected to uncover but I guess they couldn't take the risk of the competition find out something first

The is the nature of modern 'politics' - I wonder how many past 'great' politicians would withstand this level of scrutiny?

Gladstone?

Pitt?

(whisper it) Churchill?

Can't remember who said it.

"In a competion between a traditional right wing party and a traditional left wing party, the right wing party always wins"

Labour are going to condemn themselves to the political wilderness if he gets in.

After the last lot bankrupted the country, what won't win is some one saying lets borrow and spend more.

Just to note, I think the Tories are bastards, just slightly more competent then the other bastard politicians.

To be fair Corbyn is a true Labour man and a Socialist. He would stand up for the traditional Labour core vote and in certain areas (most notably Scotland) could even bring a few deserters back into the fold. That's the good bits (if you are a Labour supporter of course)

As for winning an election, he wouldn't have a hope in hell. No Labour (or Tory for that matter) leader has won an election without winning what is known as "middle England" Atlee did it, Wilson did it, and Blair did it. Gaitskel,Callaghan, Foot, Kinnock, Brown, and Milliband all failed.

Corbyn will scare the shit out of middle England and his manifesto could rival Foot's as being known as the longest political suicide note in history, which will give the Tory's a landslide similar to the Thatcher v Foot election of 1983.

I think the Labour party will have an almost impossible task of trying to win the next election with whichever leader they choose, but with Corbyn they may as well tie both hands behind their backs.

I am not, never have been, and never will be a Labour supporter but I would be the first to acknowledge that Britain needs an (almost) electable Labour party if only to keep the government on its toes.

I really can't see that for the next five years (at least)

Sorry he isn't a true Labour politician..he is a self indulgent ideological fantasist wallowing in the safety of political impotence in order to be seen as a man of principle...a lite Tony Benn....safe to say with the prospect of power he has stated the abolition of the Monarchy is to be put on the back burner...integrity ..really!!
