You know what, Corbyn could actually win this election.

Tbh, I would vote for whoever came and knocked on our door. We live on a hill in the middle of nowhere

All these "life-long" Labour voters - how long have they been voting, I wonder? Since the Blair Government?

Since they were 18 I expect!

It also very matters who your local candidates are: deciding what national government you want is obviously very important, but deciding who you want to be your representative in Parliament is also important.

I agree. Ours is awful tbh. Doesn't live in the constituency and when they do surgerys they do them then return back down south.

Problem is they think because they are a long standing MP they will get in but there has been no canversing around here at all. I think they could be in for a big shock.

I hope so.

I hope he does. For the sake of every vulnerable group that the tories have failed. For the sake of our NHS.

Media Corbyn vs Actual Corbyn - very very different.

His speeches are fantastic. He doesn't rely on soundbites.

Fingers crossed...

I have read Labour's manifesto front to back and I literally can't see anything in there that's crazily radically far left.

I really really really do not understand the Corbyn hate.

This is my local MP- as you can see he's a real charmer and obviously compassionate about his constituency

So even on a local scale I wouldn't dream of voting Tory

I didn't vote for Ed Miliband to be party leader

I did vote for Labour at the last election but as I have said many times why I would never vote for labour while Corbyn is leading the party and he won't step aside at this point in time it's the 80's all over again

And my local MP stepped down an outspoken critic of Corbyn the replacement isn't so much

No not tactically voting to keep the Tories in

And yes I can moan because if we had a different leader we would stand a chance of winning or at least gaining seats

What, like Ed Milliband did?

As a lifelong Labour voter why don't you want to vote for your local Labour candidate?

Or are you tactically voting to keep the Tories in power?

Though not as helpful to the Tories as another 5 years in power will be.

That should read msm/DM/sun

Bloody autocorrect

Feels like with the snap election Labour have put together a manifesto with very broad appeal, which responds to a lot of current concerns. Also guess that maybe they are getting more air time now, so people can see what the Labour offer actually is like. I think it's great and I am voting for Labour.

No a Labour voter shouldn't just have to vote Labour/Corbyn simply becuase he is leader of the Party

He isn't a principled man heAnd (yes done plenty of research no not from me/do/Sun) I won't vote for him as many life long Labour voters also won't my voting for him (and many others who feel the same) prolongs his leadership which is very helpful for the Tories

And yes I can moan because if we had a different leader we would stand a chance of winning or at least gaining seats but neither shall happen even with the polls change in this last week

I'm not on the far left (whatever that is). I just don't want another 5 years of Tory rule.

Any labour supporter who feels the same ought to be voting for Corbyn. And if not then don't whinge when May gets in.

Blairites, red Tory, Torylite, DM/Sun readers, infiltrators from CCHQ and now petulant dicks

Hardly surprising the insults will turn nasty we all know how too many on the far left think nothing of insults, hounding and even threats but that's the far left for you it's nothing new

I consider it more of a description. But whatever.

Petulant dicks.

The name calling continues I see.

The gap is closing. All these lifelong Labour voters who would rather spoil their vote or not vote this election are probably going to be responsible for 5 year of Tories.

We get it - you don't like Corbyn. But so much that you'd rather see another 5 years of May?

Petulant dicks.

Yy Aggie.

I read one of the interviews where Corbyn condemns all bombing and points out the loyalists bombed too. The insistence on a specific and unique condemnation of the IRA has a suggestion that illegitimate and violent murder of innocent mainland British or loyalist Ulster people is in some way worse than murder of Catholic innocents such as that perpetrated by the British Army in Bloody Sunday. The idea that someone who refuses to condemn only one perpetrator of illegitimate violence above others must be a sympathiser with that perpetrator has a hint to it of an inability to accept that Britain can ever do anything wrong anywhere in the world. Most Irish people in the UK and Ireland abhorred the actions of the IRA. I also abhorred Bloody Sunday, loyalist violence, the BNP and the joyous reaction to the sinking of the Belgrano.

Ahh Aggie I see you've met the CCHQ tropeists, speech must have done will and rattled them a bit, bless

I don't think it's a matter for debate that Corbyn sympathised with the IRA. He was a stubborn troublemaker even then!

To be honest his IRA connections don't bother me. He just seems utterly thick.
