Who will replace Labour as the main "progressive" voice in parliament?

[Jeffrey Shaw]

And I do mean leave. EEC membership is not leaving.

Not 'EEC', I think- maybe 'Single Market Area'?

[Solomon1]

How long has he been an mp sol? The only credit he will get is from all the other parties for ruining any chance labour had at the next election.What makes it worse is most labour mps know he will never be pm.

 

Please don't quote the mainstream media drivel at me

 

Corbyn was elected democratically, don't forget that

 

And by 'ruining labours chances', means you have some more suitable candidate in mind?

 

Owen Smith?

Oh my word the list is endless:

Pick pretty much any Labour MP outside Corbyn's inner circle.

Failing that, grab almost anybody off the street who's got the £3.

 

 

Still back on topic. Who Solomon do you think will take over as the official opposition? Also do you think it will be after a break-up following the leadership election or after wipe-out at the 2020 GE?

Why do you think he is so unpopular with his own mps? is it because he will never be pm and they know it.Ukip and the libdems are going to profit if corbyn is still leader come the next election.The tories must be jumping for joy at the prospect.Smith is a bad choice to stand that I do agree,there's better supported mps that should have stood but it seems none wanted it,did they know what was going to happen?

So you agree that Smith is a bad choice

 

And you're offering no other alternatives....

 

So why complain?

Even if Corbyn wins, how long do you really think there will exist a single Labour party under his leadership. If there isn't another prompt leadership challenge, then the party will split. You know this. And you don't care.

 

So. Who would you like to take over as the official opposition?

[lottiecass]

There is plenty of better choices than smith and corbyn in the party,but none wanted it,why? Is it because they could see the labour party on its way down the pan? Makes you wonder.

Well quite!

 

Meanwhile, Corbyn's taking the heat for a problem not of his making

 

And not getting enough credit for swelling Labour membership!

And this sounds pretty progressive to me:

 

 

 

If people gave him a chance, we would see REAL change

It's quite possible the Tories will implode at turbo speed.

 

Politics has gone crazy and absolutely anything could happen.
