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.

No. Labour Party member and resigned. West Midlands.

John McDonald refused to apologise fur calling for the lynching of a female Tory. Yes don't like her but following the murder of Jo it's a fucking disgrace.

I find the labour leadership now mysogynistic, backward, racist and vile.

Shame shame shame on those who are again presiding over the collapse of the party who should be standing up to the tories.

I remember the awful days of militants tendancy in the 80s. It allowed thatcher to reign disturbed for years and that will happen again.

I understand floating voters not wanting to vote for the current Labour party but if you've always or usually voted Labour, why not? I'm not happy about Corbyn and am resigned to annihilation at the next election on the scale of 1983, when I voted for the first time under Michael Foot naively thinking Thatcherism was a blip. But there isn't any other party that broadly reflects my views.

User14625592 · 27/09/2016 18:42

I've been a labour voter all my life. I would never vote for them while he is leader.

SavageBeauty73 · 27/09/2016 18:42

Definitely.
London.

Member of the Labour Party and voted.

mummymeister · 27/09/2016 18:42

Thank goodness you turned up Yorkieheaven I was beginning to think I was the only one who remembered the 70's.

had forgotten about JMD and his call for a lynching. no coincidence that it was a female MP. why wasn't he arrested for that comment?

Yorkieheaven · 27/09/2016 18:43

mummy sadly no I think a lot of new members are either young idealists from very comfy middle class backgrounds or the older agitators who don't give a shit about winning the next election but just enjoy protesting.

Pathetic.

citybushisland · 27/09/2016 18:44

Yes I would, I live in Yorkshire, am a member of the Labour party and have been for 30 years.

Yorkieheaven · 27/09/2016 18:44

Agree mummy but unfortunately the far left and the far right are very similar nasty bed fellows.

oreosforlunch2002 · 27/09/2016 18:44

Voted Labour at last election but this massive lurch to the hard left scares me. So won't be voting labour at next election. Theresa May seems sensible, might give her a try, see how she goes.

South West.

Oh and the way Jeremy treated that poor women MP who now needs a bodyguard was appalling.

mummymeister · 27/09/2016 18:45

the pictures on the Momentum website of their meetings seem to support this. some of it is all a bit Wolfie smith - again probably have to explain that reference to a fair few voting Corbyn.

SandyY2K · 27/09/2016 18:45

No. I wouldn't vote for him. I don't think he's good enough to represent the UK.

I'm in London.

Yorkieheaven · 27/09/2016 18:47

limited I can't vote for a party led by a man and satellites who are mysogynistic and racist. Just can't.

mummymeister · 27/09/2016 18:47

yorkie it has always been so! the far left and the far right both cut from the same cloth imo.

Yorkieheaven · 27/09/2016 18:48

Yorkieheaven · 27/09/2016 18:49

Exactly mummy unpleasebt bullies

Nonewnameideas · 27/09/2016 18:50

No. Scotland. Used to be one major party I'd never vote for (Tories) but now I have three to avoid (UKIP and Labour too). I supported Kinnock, back in the day, but Corbyn gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Squigglypig · 27/09/2016 18:50

No, London. I've voted Labour all my life, I admire a lot of their MPS but I can't vote Labour while he and his cronies are in charge. I'm gutted. I may vote Lib Dem next election as they are only party that doesn't seem resigned to Brexit.

LyraMortalia · 27/09/2016 18:50

No, not a chance his behaviour in NI was despicable, he's a misogynistic, anti-semitic bully and encourages the sort of do it my way or else you are evil, nasty child killing satanists epitomized in minifingerz posts. He's a fake and has stripped this country of any credible opposition.

How rude, not to mention inaccurate.

Yorkieheaven · 27/09/2016 18:55

I actually feel I have no party to vote for now. Thing is we are both in our 50s and ok financially.

It's the young people I worry about. My kids.

Fucking Ed Milliband was a bloody disaster and Corbyn is worse. Whole swathes of labour supporters went to UKIP and will probably go Tory next election.

Well done labour well done there.

AlmaMartyr · 27/09/2016 18:55

No. I'm in the SW.

TheDuchessOfKidderminster · 27/09/2016 18:56

I would because I always vote Labour BUT I'm in a safe Tory seat in rural Yorkshire so my vote really does not count at all. I also don't think JC should ever have been elected leader of the party and wish he would just fuck off. The party is a dead duck at the moment which I find really very worrying especially at a time when we really really need an effective opposition (and no the bloody SNP do not count).

Yorkieheaven · 27/09/2016 18:56

I could have been far ruder actually but was trying to be tactful so the young idealists didn't remember and don't know better!

If you are 40 and over you do remember the 80s and you should know better.

EdmundCleverClogs · 27/09/2016 18:56

but if you've always or usually voted Labour, why not

Because Jeremy Corbin couldn't lead a fly to shit, not to talk about leading his own party in government. His complete non-campaign for/against Brexit shows that when it comes to the actual important stuff, he won't take a stand (unlike with bloody train seats). I like his idealism not his attitude.

mummymeister · 27/09/2016 18:56

page have you looked at the momentum website?
