Leadership contest should be called off

Apparently some people on internet forums have been suggesting people pay a couple of quid to join Labour and vote for Corbin as a way of keeping the Tories in power.

Disgusting.

If anybody can sign up as a supporter and vote then it's clearly stupid.

The majority of parties/groups/organisations who have elections have criteria that you have to be a member for a specific amount of time before you can vote.

So apart from those who are under 19 everyone else who is an adult should have had to be a member for at least a year. Under 19 year olds have the excuse that they were in full time education e.g. children so it's not age discrimination.

It would have been perfectly fine if they voted for anybody but Komrade Korbyn!

Hopefully all their supporters will vote UKIP at the next election.

That's what this boils down to. It was a Miliband idea though so we shouldn't be too surprised it immediately turned to rat tulip. Just imagine what would be happening if he were running the country

I hope Korbyn wins. viva the revolution!

Change the rules because you don't like the result. Sour grapes.

People are voting for Corbyn because he has an alternative, he has a view, he has a beard ;-{|D
