Are you a member of the Labour Party?

[teuchter]

Simple question.

 

[Sea Star]

No

 

[JimW]

 

[Hocus Eye.]

No I left the party years ago in the Blair days. I have just considered re-joining to help Corbyn, On the other hand being in the party is very hard work and you can never be sure if you have Blairites hiding in your cornflakes.

 

[SaskiaJayne]

Use to be years ago but didn't bother to renew. I suppose I should get off my arse & rejoin. I just looked at Labour party website, not much on there.

 

[chilango]

No.

But I am a member of the labour movement as a trade union member. So it's not really a simple question is it?

 

[Dr. Furface]

I'm not but Mrs F is - she joined up to vote for Corbyn. She wouldn't vote for him again though!

 

[mauvais]

No.

This. And only that since the last leadership election, in order to support Corbyn (was always a union member but killed off my Labour contribs at some point in the Blairite years).

I was thinking of joining a year ago but the shambolic nature of local organisation put me off. Now it's even less likely.

 

[butchersapron]

I like that pic of McCarthy lecturing a child from Bugsy Malone.

No, i'm not in the labour party and never will be.

 

[cantsin]

Seriously tempted to, on a temporary basis. Cldnt justify this with any clear / concrete logic, it would be just caving in to base impulses . Online Momentum sign up has been the gateway drug.

 

[TopCat]

I just left and still feel dirty.

 

[inva]

no, never have been.

 

[Sea Star]

I left in 1991 after the Kinnockite witch hunt finally drove me out. Never want to go back.

was a bit shocked when you joined, and it deffo helped put the first inkling in my mind - did you go to any meetings etc / and if so how was it ?

 

[Sirena]

Yes. Joined yesterday.

 

[teuchter]

No.

Fair point. Have added an option to the poll. Should be possible for folk to change their vote if they wish.

 

[skyscraper101]

No. But I did have a photo of Tony Blair on my bedroom wall, and a New Labour pledge card in 1997. :Thumbs :

 

[nogojones]

I wondered what your experience was like

 

[Sea Star]

I'm in an unaffiliated Union - The RMT.

 

[Pickman's model]

No. But I did have a photo of Tony Blair on my bedroom wall, and a New Labour pledge card in 1997. :Thumbs :

Was your Blair stuck over a dartboard?

 

[teuchter]

I'm in an unaffiliated Union - The RMT.

They don't approve of JC?

 

[Sea Star]

They don't approve of JC?

From what I can tell few of them particularly like the Labour Party and they consider Corbyn to be right wing or moderate.

 

[DaveCinzano]

they consider Corbyn to be right wing or moderate.

Well, isn't he?

 

[OneStrike]

No, but I sent them £3 so I could vote JC in. They send me lots of e-mails and newsletters, I think they like me.

 

[19sixtysix]

I rejoined to get Corbyn in. I'll stay a bit longer but if the blairites take over again we are all fucked.

 

[Sea Star]

Well, isn't he?

That was a comment made without judgement in answer to someone else's question.

 

[NoXion]

You know I could swear that the guy on the right wearing the hat looks like his head has been Photoshopped in. The hat especially looks weirdly sharp-focused compared to everything else in the photo.

 

[Looby]

Yes, I joined last year. Prior to that I always refused to join and for 10 years was in an unaffiliated TU.
Mr Looby joined yesterday.

McCarthy's head is too I reckon if you squint, just some random I found on the Internet.
