to ask if you would vote for Corbyn and what area of the country you are in?

[WillyW8nker]

Just curious as to whether Corbyn's re-election means his popularity is better than the polls suggest and also if there is a divide in the geographical location of his supporters.

So, would you vote for Corbyn if there was a GE tomorrow and what part of the country are you in?

Me: I would vote for him. I am in London.

SDTG, would Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of Westminster Labour not affect your vote in a General Election at all?

Probably not, Bakewell - the Labour candidate is the only one here who has any chance of beating the SNP one in the Westminster elections.

And, on further thought, I was wrong to say I would be voting for Kezia/Scottish labour - as that only really applies in the Holyrood elections - apologies for being so stupid.

I do broadly believe in the principles of socialism.

And they can kiss my ass when it comes to distributing leaflets. They can surely rouse all those young people, and principled well off toffee nosed old hippies to help out!

Yep. My door-knocking, envelope stuffing says are over until Corbyn is gone. I'm sure all the starry eyed, middle class fans of his are willing too step up and do it.

And yet it's the working class who Corbyn is working for

It's odd nearly every Corbyn supporter I have met, seen ontv, heard in the radio, read about their support are middle class

We should be thankfully all these lovely kind people know what's best for us what would we do without them

I hrtft but has anyone commented on the stall at the Labour Party conference which sold merchandise sneering at disabled soldiers?
My God, how low can they sink. If Corbyn had tried to have it taken down or at least spoken out against I'd have had more respect for him.
Surely pacifism doesn't include sneering at wounded soldiers. Utterly despicable.

Or you could look at this

Point is, it's an independent stall - for a campaign organised by Dan Cullen and Ben Griffin (ex-SAS) to satirise the kind of glamorous recruitment material used by the army (nothing to do with mocking disabled soldiers).

Nothing to do with either Labour or Momentum, as the organisers of the stall have made clear (repeatedly).

Absolutely!
East midlands.

It's hard to criticise Corbyn's policies - after all, you can't really argue with 'Let's make things fairer' - so the right-wing led media have to attack his leadership ability, his electability and his 'unrealistic' ideas instead. Hopefully enough people will see straight through this tactic and still vote for a fairer society. I certainly will (London area).

Yes - Northwest

Shovetheholly and Elendon.
Thank you for those links.
My apologies, but I did read it in the Telegraph who I now realise hadn't investigated the story properly.
Thank you for setting it straight.

I've done the same thing on too many occasions to be justified in blaming you in the slightest dapple.

not all of us read the right wing media and many have watched Corbyn being interviewed, researched his work as an MP and made up their minds without ever reading anything written in the right wing press

and at the moment anything that questions Corbyn is labelled right wing or the person is obviously a Blairite, Red Tory, Tory Scum and so on its tiresome but its now Labour Party politics

Policies are easy to talk about and his are crowd please what isn't as its more complex and quite boring to hear is how those policies can be put in place

I'm not sure which part of my post you were responding to there?

What I really find hard to understand is why even people who live guaranteed principles would chose him aseader if they had read any of the polls of the general public about who they would vote for at a GE. It is like they have a death wish..... And meanwhile the rest of us will have to put up with an increasingly right wing tory party for the foreseeable future be a use labour have CHOSEN to make themselves unelectable

Sorry should read people who admire corbyns principles....

I will vote Labour, not Corbyn. Derbyshire.

I have always based my vote on my local MP and how good he is in the community. My MP is Dennis Skinner. But if he stands again I cannot vote for him now this idiot is in charge. I have no idea ho to vote for now.

Lertlovewin - fairer society - that is a laugh! So when a crank accuses Jews of baking gentile children into their Passover matza and says that Jews were secretly warned not to come to work at the twin towers on 9/11, what was JC's reaction?

a) ignore him - some people are just too mad to deal with
b) denounce him as an obvious anti-semite (note, no mention of Israel in these views), so no possible claim that it was an attack on Zionism; or
c) call him an "honoured citizen" and invite him for tea?

answers on a postcard, please....

samG76 obviously being a bit thick but can you explain what point you are making please?

it isn't about not wanting a government with left wing principles or a fairer society. its knowing that Corbyn and Momentum aren't the way to get it.

I do get really annoyed by people who go on about the Murdoch press as if that is the only place for reasonably intelligent, computer literate people to find out what is going on in the world.

I judge people by their actions and their inaction. Corbyn still hasn't condemned McDonald and his death threat. he wont answer questions about anti Semitism and in yesterdays speech it was all about "I'm the leader and we will do it my way" who is he fooling? this isn't about his way its about Momentum and what they want.

too many middle class loveys telling us that they know about the lives of the poor and what they want. Corbyns speech yesterday was riddled with it.

Mummymeister - I think we are in agreement. Letlove suggested that JC is in favour of a fairer society, but there is plenty of evidence that he isn't.

thanks sam obviously in the post lunch slump and was a bit confused.

It would be an interesting question to ask if anyone is thinking of voting labour for Corbyn who voted Tory last time round, as really Labour can't win in 2020 unless at least some of the people who voted Tory in those marginal seats in 2015 are prepared to vote Labour next time.

I see lots of people who already vote Labour supporting him, and lots of people who live in Labour seats supporting him, but not many people who live in those seats that he needs to turn from blue to red.

Even if it's "don't know" at this stage, that would be helpful. It's a massive hill he's got to climb, turning those votes red. so far, everything seems a bit centred on the people who are already politically on the left, are there enough of them living in the right areas to mean he doesn't need to attract floating voters who voted Tory last time?

I voted Tory last time round DinosaursRoar and I won't be voting for him at the next election. When Blair and Brown were the Labour leaders I voted Labour. They had their faults but they were the best option at the time imo. I'd vote for a centre left party, not a hard left one.
I may well not vote Tory next time, but I will not vote Labour with Corbyn in charge.
