I'd rather have someone who looks a little scruffy representing me, yhan someone who is so bothered about their appearance that they spend hundreds of pounds on leather trousers, and heels which ususlly look not worth the money.

Nothing wrong with JC, it's the rest of his party that's the problem.

I have a few big issues with JC but generally enough to overlook considering the other parties in a position to form a government.

Hopefully the party can pull behind him for this and push the stuff they all generally agree on.

My worry is we'd be voting in a very weak government. The economic impact could be massive.

Indeed. Only the Torys are strong enough to REALLY actively wreck our society and enrich those at the top. JC is just too weak to do so.

Hahaha, tbh at this point with brexit and a big amount of the population on a debt bubble, the economy will suffer regardless for a while.

Question is do you want to try and cut the debt/grow the economy through investment or austerity.

Government borrowing rates are at their lowest in a long time. The govt should use that fact to invest in infrastructure and society and not continue down the austerity route.

I feel that Labour would discourage international investment in the UK. Not necessarily because it's Labour, just that its weak. A coalition would be worse.

So many say JC would make a poor PM because he is too left wing or has only loony policies, here is what he intends to do if Labour gain power:

1. Return to a fully nationalised and well funded NHS. The big hint in how the National Health Service should be run is in the last word there, it is not the NHB(usiness) and none of it should be run by private companies for profit!

2. Affordable homes fit for human habitation for all.

3. Peace not war.

4. A £10 pound an hour minimum wage.

5. Free university tuition.

6. A nationalised rail service. Why do we subsidise the profits of rail operators when we can run the railways better ourselves?

7. Well funded social care.

8. A greener more equal economy with investment in renewable energy and a stop to highly risky fracking in the UK.

9. A reversal of the 72 billion pounds worth of tax cuts for the rich (funded by NHS, local authority, police, fire service and social welfare cuts), an end to sweetheart tax deals for multinationals and a clampdown on tax dodging.

Now who is against any of the above? And if you are against JC's policies will you explain why?

£10 an hour minimum wage just means that all of the prices will go right up there and we would be right back to where we started

If you start hammering the well offs on the tax front people will simply either find ways around it or will just downsize and not employ as many and will just turn over enough for them thus putting nothing back into the economy.

some people work hard take risks with thier own money to get some where so then you want to take it away from them again?

there go all of the risk takers

Where will the money come from for all that lot? Don't say item 9, we can all see through that lie as it would be no where near £72bn and the Tories have already started a clampdown.

I was just about to ask the same thing. Where will the money come from? Listening to shadow chancellor John McDonnell on the news Labours spending plans are in cloud cookoo land with no idea how they intend to pay for it.

If Theresa May wishes to spend her own money in that way it's upto her. It's not taxpayers money she is spending on her own clothes. Jeremy Corbyn's tax return showed he earned around £100,000 last year, it wouldn't do him any harm to spend a bit of it on a new wardrobe. The 1970's Michael Foot look he seems to go for is doing him no favours at all.

-Matt"

I've already explained the difference between a debt and a deficit on here several times but one again.....

The DEBT will continue to rise as long as we have a deficit. We have had a deficit for around 8 years. You have to get rid of the deficit before the debt will stop growing and start shrinking again. The deficit has shrunk under the coalition and the Tories but is still there. It is NOT the fault of the present or last government that debt is growing, no matter how convenient that lie may be to the shadow chancellor.

Into the middle of this slow but steady recovery, Labour pledges the moon on a stick.... Easy, just borrow more! NO NO NO, it just prolongs the pain and would be a spectacularly fuckwitted way to do it.

I really don't think that Corbyn ever intended himself to become PM - He's pushing retirement age.

I think his goal was to serve his term as leader, make the Labour Party into a viable left wing opposition and then allow someone younger and more charismatic take the party further.

It is not that he is left wing so much but that Corbyn is an idealist who does not live in the real world.

The fact is that there is knmow such thing as equality there never has been and never will be.

What you must have is a situation where the bottom of the pile have food warmth and good health,to get this you need the rich to create the whealth and they are able to enjoy there whealth.

Therefore for the poor to be better off the rich must keep getting richer.

The level of the poor must then be raised by better distribution but the whealth creaters must be rewarded for this not penalised,otherwise you can never achieve this.

Let's remember, that £10 at the lower end means those higher up will also want an increase. We need a wage difference as that is what encourages us strife for a better life through work
