Lefty luvvie quits the Labour party

[Zero Liability]

My son is "retarded" well he gets called it every day at school because he's autistic, but I guess I'll let that pass.

If the other Miliband had won and became leader in 2010 I doubt Osbourne would be chancellor, it'd be someone else, probably in a red tie.

Well I can assure you that that has nothing to do with my reasons for calling Miliband that. Rather, it's the harebrained schemes he, Osborne etc come up with. And you're right, it's a gamble whoever it is. Doubt it'd be Ed Balls, though.

Maybe the other, non-retarded Miliband would suffice.

Non-retarded for a politician - ie just one rather than 2-3 standard deviations below the mean IQ.

You mean this one ?

If he says he'll protect small business (I'm talking specifically for us here) and he kind of does, but I, for one, think he'll be gone by 2017/18.

The reason the Tories think they can spank us is because we can't spank them back, if someone else lead the Labour Party and it was a credible opposition the Tories would look after their core vote a lot more.

That is true get Banana Man in and the political landscape would change with the Tories having an opposition, or at the outside someone like Dan Jarvis

It does no one any favours to have such a weak ineffective opposition

Under what circumstances would they vote for Corbyn?

I think it would be more voters not voting at all with no credible party to go for.

He's hardly a left luvvie.....I did the same thing though, most people with brains have left or are leaving.

However it could be the middle classes who spur him on to an unlikely victory if Osbourne keeps his attack on the self employed up! The difference between the middle classes and the working classes is of course that no matter how tulip The Tories treat the working classes, they still vote Tory.

Where as the middle classes tend to vote for who is best for them.

Allegedly because saying he is fed up arguing with “the Corbytrons” and “just can’t stick with all the posturing tw*ts”.

That warmed my cockles this morning
