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.

Yes
East Sussex

palance it could be handy if you wanna start a revolution..

No. I am Jewish and all my family and friends are going to boycott labour and JC. London.

Yes. I even paid £25 to do so. Sheffield.

No. And never.

Oxfordshire.

Regardless of his various other policies, he is fatally undermined by two things:

He's anti military, and he's pro unrestricted immigration.

He is, as a consequence, lower than a snakes belly in the eyes of the majority of ordinary Brits.

Yes.

Essex

Since I live in the 3rd safest Tory seat in Britain it won't do any good though

But working class people aren't one homogeneous mass with the same views and perspectives, Enthusiasm.

Yes.

Those who say middle-class left wing voters patronise the working class seem, IMO, to be talking more about working class Tories/UKIP voters, whilst the middle class left wing voters (especially those who consider voting for Corbyn) are most concerned about those who are worst off, homelessness, disability benefits etc. They are trying to push against the rhetoric of the deserving ("hard working") and the undeserving poor that has become stronger under the Tories.

I think there is a class divide on immigration, an issue where there is no easy answer. The protectionist parties emerging in Scandinavia, pushing a strong welfare state but low immigration, perhaps join up the interests now seen as [white] working class, but no equivalent in Britain.

Yes - well I'd vote for my Labour MP.

London borough which is next to Corbyn's constituency (and one of the safest Labour seats in the country).

My 7 year old asked what Jeremy Corbyn's new job was today.

I replied that even Jeremy was not sure of that.

My DS replied "I know, he is a time traveller!"

This is true.

As regards of teacher look alikes my art and design lecturer looked just like him. He was a man who appeared to have taken too much acid at a party in 1974 and was still stuck there. His master stroke was on a trip to Amsterdam to count the bus driver onto the bus resulting in a student being left behind and having to get a taxi to Rotterdam.

Whilst the ideals of fairness and equality are good we need real action plans that are achievable and workable economically. If these are found to be full of holes I can imagine the disillusionment some will feel will be crashing.

Not a cat's chance in hell. London Borough.

No. He would have appealed to me as a teenager but not now.

Midlands

Yes, North Cambs.

No one is saying mc left wing voters patronise the wc

What I said is there is a type of mc socialist (or left wing voter) that does and makes assumptions what wc people want

Now ask many wc people would you send your child to a private school or grammar school many would answer yes, some no it's an assumption by some that we would all say no as we desperately want an equal society when many actually want the trappings mc life offers

The idea of an equal society is all very nice put the idea to voters and to make that happen a rise in tax, cut backs on certain services, means tested pensions, and charges on healthcare is the only way to move towards a fair society how many of us are willing to do that

The idea of an equal society is all very nice put the idea to voters

It relies on the voters assuming that their current quality of life is slightly lower than it would be under an "equal society".

Ask m/c voters what they'd be willing to sacrifice themselves in order to provide more to the w/c.
In many cases, they assume that the tax rises etc will apply to 'the wealthy' -that is, those more well off than themselves.

ask many wc people would you send your child to a private school or grammar school many would answer yes,

Of course they would - and are horrified by the idea that if they work hard enough to improve their quality of life, they'll be expected to contribute more so the state can provide support to others who are better off than they are.

I've voted labour at every election for the last 20 years. I won't be voting for them while Corbyn's the leader.
In London.

Yes, without a doubt. SE London.

Not a chance.

Edinburgh

Yes, I'm a Corbyn supporter. Joined the Labour Party last year to vote for him. I'm originally from the North West but live in the North East at the moment. Long history of socialism/unions in the family so Corbyn is very well liked amongst my relatives.

To answer your question I would vote for my local (labour) MP if there was an election tomorrow - I live in London.

As a PS I did not vote for Corbyn in the leadership contest (and have now cancelled my Labour Party membership)

No way, West Midlands

I teach in a comprehensive, consider myself working class and I certainly wouldn't send my (hypothetical) kids to a private school or a grammar school. My uncle has what we would now call a learning disability but at the time the grammar school called "thick". In his final two years at school, he moved to a secondary modern and got the help he needed and did well.

Grammar schools were allowed to do what they wanted really, and anyone who didn't fit into their incredibly narrow bracket suffered.

I'm personally of the opinion that all schools should be standardised, get rid of fee paying schools and give every single child the same opportunities. Your education shouldn't suffer just because you're not catholic/good at passing exams or because your parents can't afford massive fees.

I'm very politically active, am Jewish myself. Have never experienced anti-semitism in the party at all, neither have my Jewish friends who live in London or other parts of the country. It's all been whipped up by the Murdoch press into something it isn't.

Good for you.

Some however do.

Including Corbyn supporting Labour MPs.

I am also Jewish.

Yes anti semitism has occurred in the party.

You have only just joined.

You don't speak for everyone strangly enough.
