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 Anglia.

Pooka · 27/09/2016 16:16

Have always voted labour.

South East London.

Voted for Owen smith in leadership contest.

Will not vote for Corbyn. God knows whether will actually vote at all. Not sure I can bring myself for vote for him as representative of the Labour Party so at the moment may do the previously unthinkable and just spoil my ballot.

Lordamighty · 27/09/2016 16:17

No, NW.

MsFiremanSam · 27/09/2016 16:17

Yes.
West Yorkshire.

No chance - I live up north.

Unicornsarelovely · 27/09/2016 16:19

No. South east. Luckily we have a good local Lib dem.

BarryTheKestrel · 27/09/2016 16:20

Yes, south west.

DrDreReturns · 27/09/2016 16:20

There's no way in hell I'll vote for him. He's wholly unsuited to be PM. I find his attitude to anti semitism very worrying. One of his Jewish MPs was verbally abused by one of his supporters in a meeting he was present at and he did nothing! She left in floods of tears. That's not leadership. I'll never vote for him. I would vote Labour if they had a decent leader though.

DrDreReturns · 27/09/2016 16:20

Oh I'm from Worcestershire btw.

MothersGrim · 27/09/2016 16:21

Another No Northerner here.

I'll vote Labour, not Corbyn.

DollyMcDolly · 27/09/2016 16:22

I'm a floating voter and there is no way I will vote Labour with JC as leader.

DollyMcDolly · 27/09/2016 16:22

I'm near Newcastle btw

user1473454752 · 27/09/2016 16:23

North West here and No I will not vote for him, shame Labour was a good party, it has gone to the dogs now, so would rather vote for another party now.

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 27/09/2016 16:23

It's a yes from me. Greater London.

minifingerz · 27/09/2016 16:23

Yes.

London

Those of you who say 'no way' despite claiming to be left/left of centre in your politics - you'd rather allow a very right wing government to continue its ideologically driven attacks on the NHS and the poor/disabled/young for another 5 years? Shame on you. I think some people are closet Tories who want an excuse not to vote labour.

dovesong · 27/09/2016 16:23

I honestly don't know the answer. I'm a member of the Labour Party and would never in a million years vote conservative or UKIP and I agree with a lot of his views but I think he'd make a rotten and incompetent PM. Might go Green or Lib Dem - I'm in a pretty conservative area of London that won't be changing any time soon so my vote won't matter too much.

samG76 · 27/09/2016 16:23

Albus - it's not just Jews that the "kinder gentler politics" seems to have it in for. Women, anyone who doesn't toe the party line, soldiers, etc. BME MP's (apart from Diane Abbott, of course) don't seem too chuffed either. Definitely worse than a couple of years ago.

Bijouxxx · 27/09/2016 16:24

Yes, Lancashire

YellowPrimula · 27/09/2016 16:25

No , can't believe so many people have fallen for his PR.He has never had a proper job , grew up in an affluent family ,thinks nothing of pulling strings for his family and cronies families. He has no managememt skills or critical thinking skills and couldn't organise the poverbial piss up in a brewery . In my opinion he is nothing but a con.

OdinsLoveChild · 27/09/2016 16:27

No, never and neither would my DH or FIL (who actually tore up his membership card on hearing the news he had been re elected).

We live in the West Midlands.

DrDreReturns · 27/09/2016 16:27

imo minifingerz he'd do the country more damage than the Tories. It's no good saying you can save the NHS if you run the economy into the ground and hence can't pay for it! I don't want an excuse not to vote Labour, they've got to persuade me they can run the country!
As I said I have voted Labour before and will do again if I think they are the best option.

minifingerz · 27/09/2016 16:27

All the right wing press has to do is continue with their character assassination of JC, and we will have a Tory government for the next decade.

I can't believe people's principles are so fucked that they will allow the Tories to win again because of their objection to JC

Disgusting. Sad

ItsJustNotRight · 27/09/2016 16:28

Yes definitely, I live in the SW.

minifingerz · 27/09/2016 16:28

"imo minifingerz he'd do the country more damage than the Tories"

Yes, of course. Hmm

limitedperiodonly · 27/09/2016 16:29

I will vote Labour. I live in London in a safe Conservative seat. I am not happy about Jeremy Corbyn and the direction/indirection of the party, but for me there is no alternative. I don't expect to see a Labour government any time soon. I'm one of those Red Tories Momentum keep talking about.
