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

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.

I will vote Labour, as always. NW.

steppedonlego · 27/09/2016 15:50

Yes, south

scarednoob · 27/09/2016 15:52

fuck that, no. i'll emigrate if he gets in.

London.

theAntsareMyFriends · 27/09/2016 15:53

I have always votes labour but this will be this first time I can do so because I want to rather than because they are the least bad party. This is the first leader with any real convictions since Thatcher and she stood for everything I am against.

sorry - I'm SE

I don't vote labour (have done in locals though) but I wouldn't completely rule it out under the right leader and right manifesto (a centrist and centre manifesto). I would never in a million years vote for Corbyn.

Frizzcat · 27/09/2016 15:54

South East, and have just left the Labour Party. Any attempt to engage with the left wing activists locally was met with being shouted at and insulted, the thing is, in my area these were largely new members. I've been called a Blarite a red Tory and once when I engaged on a Labour page on FB and questioned some of Corbyns policies, I had emails sent via FB, one called me a Blair whore and a Brown loving bitch another told me to fuck off and die of cancer. I reported and blocked them but that was enough for me.

I think Labours decline will be the Lib Dems salvation, as it stands I will not vote Labour for the foreseeable future, and I will never be a part of their party again.

passingthrough1 · 27/09/2016 15:54

And that's London.

SaltedCaramelPopcorn · 27/09/2016 15:57

Hell would freeze over first!

Essex

FriendofBill · 27/09/2016 16:02

Frizz because some people insulted you on a labour FB page you would not vote labour again. Is that right?

That's bonkers.

LordRothermereBlackshirtCunt · 27/09/2016 16:03

No - for similar reasons to Frizzcat. I'll be voting Lib Dem instead. It's the only remotely centre ground party left.

The80sweregreat · 27/09/2016 16:03

Possibly. Essex. Live in a Tory stronghold though.(. Would never vote Tory myself. ) my son will definately vote for him, he thinks he is great ( student).

melibu84 · 27/09/2016 16:05

Yes. I am a massive supporter of him, and one of the 61.8% who just voted him back as leader of the Labour party :)

Greater London / Kent

PikachuBoo · 27/09/2016 16:06

Not a cat in hell's chance. Fortunately the Liberal Democrats have stayed strong around here and have already selected a good local candidate.

I remember living through the 70s and 80s. Can't stand the holier than thou far left bollocks, find the Militant/Momentum folk abusive and unpleasant, find the persistent anti-semitism of these groupings vile (not Jewish). And many other reasons.

I'm a pro-European, green, centre leftish voter who thinks business and wealth creation is a good thing not a bad one.

South West.

morecoffee12 · 27/09/2016 16:07

No I wouldn't

London

LordRothermereBlackshirtCunt · 27/09/2016 16:07

Friendofbill - as I mentioned, this has also put me off. Labour has been infiltrated by this kind of supporter and, moreover, their behaviour and unpleasantness is entirely compatible with that of people like John Macdonnell.

Frizzcat · 27/09/2016 16:07

I don't agree with Corbyn and his direction - but I never sent him or his supporters and email saying "fuck off and die of cancer"
I don't agree with him or support him.

Personally didn't know there was a rule book of quantifiable reasons to not support someone or a party
Try reading my post again I said I would not vote Labour for the foreseeable future. I said I would never be a part of the Labour Party again.
HTH

PansyGiraffe · 27/09/2016 16:09

No way.

It will make no difference to anything though as I am a Lib Dem voter in a safe Tory South-East seat.

user1468769430 · 27/09/2016 16:09

no yorks,cobyn and mc donnell have been pandering to extreemists all there lives corbyn has had a seat on a gravy train for 33yrs hes nothing but a liar in my opinion said he only claimed£8-95 in2009-10 when he actually claimed £129,310.in 2014-15 he claimed £159,528 .T May claimed £109,256.Corbyn claimed £50,000 more than her.Also his son works for mc donnell and corbyn has just given mcCluskys daughter a £40,000 pound a year job honest politics ha ha ha .

From the North originally but live in London - JC is my MP.

I usually vote Labour but won't be doing so any more, for most of the reasons other posters have already stated.
