Not totally useless then?
(I'm not a Starmer fan at all, let me clarify. But I sort of understand (
) why leftish types in the LP have clutched at the straw that is KS though)

That's the elections game isn't it?
Well, Labour are establishment. In other words: try getting a mass movement into that political sphere. Corbyn the mellow allotment bicycle clip wearing, no sugars please drip was far to spicy.

In single transferable vote he got a number 2 from me. So yes in a way he got my vote and in a way he didn't. Poll fail really.

Who was your #1 and why did you give 2nd pref to the knight

Cause I didn't want one of the candidates. It was more important to list prefs in the deputy contest cause I didn't want that cunt Ian Murray to be anything but last.

He got my second, Nandy got my first.
Had the voting been on the 13th of December I would have gone RLB first, Nandy second, with the Good Sir Knight ruled out because of his tin eared brexit idiocy - but RLB's utterly dismal performance (media, cultural, and intellectual) quickly ruled her out for me, and my 2nd pref for the Good Sir Knight was a grudging effort at the shield wall against RLB, not a particularly ringing endorsement of him.

Yeah. I don't have fantastic hopes, and I'd probably not put myself on the same page as either Nandy or Starmer half the time, but I very much take the view that either of them would probably be able to 'steady the ship' to some degree or other, and even if they don't make a great deal of headway in terms of gains electorally, they are probably going to reduce /mitigate the hostility towards Labour I see around me.
More importantly (and perhaps more likely) either of them (and possibly RLB to be fair, once the contest is over with) are going to be far more able to do the kind of constructive, useful opposition that we (and by that I mean society) need during this epidemic and it's aftermath.
I still see Labour (the membership) as being catastrophically divided on a cultural, visceral level on a whole range of issues - the only things they agree on are Boris Johnson and motherhood and apple pie - I don't see any of the three forming a Labour government.
I'm not involved in my branch, I've not been to any of the hustings (work, indifference/apathy, and recently isolation), I've only gone on stuff I've read/seen,and chats with friends who are more involved....

Why would that stop you joining the Labour Party?Protected from voting for any of them by being a PCS member ....
I know PCS is not affiliated, but that doesn’t stop its members from joining!

I voted RLB despite all this - she probably would have been a terrible leader, and it was a long act of self-delusion to try and shape her as a Corbyn successor. However it seemed the only clear way of signaling an interest in the continuation of recent policy.
And no I'm not a card carrying member, never have been.
