I agree with you bro, if Corbyn was like Blair(when he arrived), young, flashy, centre right he would have a much better chance. Being an old man, who wears any old suits and stands behind his beliefs isn't 'sexy' enough for modern politics today.
It's unfortunate the general public can't see the trees in forest, most of these politicians are just good actors working for the establishment. Labour used to be a party for the ordinary people but it re-branded itself as New Labour, basically not much different to the Conservatives. Since then most of these new labour high ranking members have attempted to demonise their own leader , not in any bid to 'save' the party and to in a position to win as they claim but because they are just puppets on a string. Corbyn winning would be a historic event in British politics, he would attempt such a change which will not go down well the elite who have their own agendas.
A few months ago in a town near us, a young boy died as he was taken to a hospital much further away due to the cut backs. The rich do not feel austerity, it's the average person who suffers. Britain is a great country to live in but sadly is going down hill with the policies in place at present.
Trust me, there are plenty of us on the Conservative side who don't like austerity. I couldn't stand George Osborne - he made my skin crawl - but I think that Theresa May's background makes her the sort of Tory who would like a ladder of upward opportunity for the less privileged, which is where things like Grammar Schools come in.
But I'd make two other points.
Firstly, the insane fishwife economics of Margaret Thatcher has left us with a situation in which any party proposing to raise taxes is unelectable. And now the tax haul is far too small to fund a modern European society, but nobody accepts the alternative of an American-style economy of the working poor having no healthcare and no prospect of ever retiring.
Nobody buys their car or house with cash. It's normal and acceptable to borrow. Austerity economics are insane. And I say that as a Conservative. With a mortgage. And two car loans.
Secondly, as I flagged earlier and debated with [MENTION=7774]Robert[/MENTION], this is the ideal election to lose. Brexit - which I support - will cause substantial economic buffeting, and will require a transitional deal with the EU which will prolong the arrival of Eastern Europeans and enrage the electorate.
I disagree with [MENTION=7774]Robert[/MENTION] about the Liberals. I probably belong in the old SDP with the likes of David Owen, Woy Jenkins, Bill Rogers and Shirley Williams.
But I know that the coalition with Cameron and Osborne made the Liberal Democrats toxic for a generation to all traditional Liberals.
I think that SDP was actually to the right of the Liberals - and was where Tony Blair actually belonged.
And after the coalition with the Tories, the seats which the Liberal Democrats were lost en masse because:
1) The 40% of their vote which was centre-left went back to Labour, but in seats that Labour could not win, which let the Conservatives win those seats. But I don't think that those voters will vote Corbyn or Farron - they will abstain.
2) The 20% of the Liberal Democrat vote which leans centre-right went Conservative because they were desensitized to the Tories by having had 5 years in government with them. I think they will move back to the Liberal Democrats for anti-Brexit reasons.
3) The core centrist 40% of Liberal Democrat voters have not moved at all.
I just don't think that that will be enough to deliver many previously-lost seats back to the Liberal Democrats.
Personally I think that Labour will still end up with almost as many seats as they currently have.
2010: Tories 36.1% 302 seats, Labour 29% 258 seats, Liberal Democrats 23% 57 seats.
2015: Tories 36.9% 330 seats, Labour 30.4% 232 seats, Liberal Democrats 7.9% 8 seats.
I have my doubts that we will see the dramatic changes that are being flagged.
The truth is, at the 2015 election the Conservative vote stagnated.
What actually happened was that a large part of the Liberal vote moved to Labour - in seats that Labour was never going to win - but the Scottish Labour vote moved to the SNP due to two critical errors by Ed Miliband. The first error was to oppose Scottish independence. The second error was to reject in advance forming a coalition government with the SNP. The two alienated every socialist Scot who supports independence within the EU.
Yes, Theresa May will win. But I suspect that the Conservative vote will go up from 36.9% to a maximum of 38%, and that the number of additional Tory seats won will be paltry, because:
1. The Liberal Democrat voters willing to vote Tory in marginal C/LD seats already did in 2015.
2. Many of those Liberal Democrat voters who voted Tory in 2015 and delivered the extra 28 Tory seats will not vote for a Brexit government.
3. Disgruntled Labour centre-left voters might vote Liberal Democrat, but they won't vote Tory.
the last 10 years speaks for itself
, they tend to be very snobbish people but there are many who are also in support of his policies as well. Perhaps in the 70's the execution of their ideas were poor
