Labour...anyone got any idea?

Having recently had a by election here, I fielded the usual questions from my kids about who they should vote for.

I refrained from telling them, saying instead that they should vote for whoever they felt best portrayed their ideas of how local, and national, govt should behave, and in which direction they wanted the country to go.

They asked for a brief synopsis of the main parties. I think I did pretty well, giving (I hope) an unbiased view.

However, my son has been paying a lot more attention to the news for the last couple of weeks, and now says he is even more confused than before, especially with "that daft twat Corbyn and the rest" (his words).

So, can anyone give me a rundown on which way the Labour Party is pointing, on the big topics, the EU (in/out/shakeitallabout), defence, NHS, Scotland (HA...that should be interesting!) etc?

Might be better to get your own opinion online to be fair

I have my own opinion, but when I chat with my kids I want to try and give them a straight steer, and let them make up their own minds.

I guess my own opinion clouds my judgement on Corbyn (treasonous traitorous wanker), McDonnell, Abbott and the rest.

That’s fair enough but any comment on here would at least have a slight (probably huge) bias ,, they meet to find what they are passionate about and look at both opposing side to get a balanced view

I think it's worth waiting to see if an early gener election comes, potentially this year. This would then push all parties to provide a manifesto that's based on the reality of today, rather than us using an older one that's out dates.

I'm assuming they will still plan to take train and other franchised services back into state ownership, would invest more info the NHS, undoing Conservative cuts in real terms but just speculation.

All I can say about the far left is there a shining example of why we should be investing in reopening all those mental institutions we closed down!.

And that's my biggest gripe with us right wingers, were just not willing to pay out to lock up the crazies.
