Yes, though I think it depends on the parliamentary arithmetic. Solid tory majority and he's gone asap; wafer thin tory majority there may be yet more potential for brexit related faffing about and he stays a bit (provided Labour's don't drop too many seats). I'm not even thinking about a Labour majority, but if there's any kind of 'everyone but the tories and dup' shindig he should be PM, though the liberals will no doubt attempt some kind of absurd wet fart power play to derail him.It strikes me as a pretty pointless argument to say Corbyn must go given the current state of play. Clearly he is going to be the leader at the election and after that he'll either have a good election and be in No 10 or he will not be in No 10 and is unlikely to remain Labour leader. Its not easy to see many (if any) scenarios where he doesn't get the keys to No 10 and stays on as leader.
I don't think another hung parliament with tories the largest party will cut it. My thoughts anyway.
I don't think so. Corbyn usually does well in TV debates: Johnson usually doesn't.

I've spent my whole political life arguing against the crude model of media production and simple public reception. But, this idiot really tests me.When he's told to.

Ok, what will be election outcome. Eg tory majority of xOlny one that can see the fucking obvious future

Corbyn doesn't need to work hard to persuade people who'd already like the way he can appear in a debate. Debates are about intelligence and good sparring skills. Nobody who likes Boris likes intelligence.
But unlike Trump, Boris does like big words and uses them quite well sometimes, so in a debate he could well come across as an upper-class twit. Esp if Corbyn holds back from that.
Where is this coming from? Can you argue with things people say here rather than making up positions for us?You may like his politics so see him as some sort of god
No fan, but this is piss poor fella.Debates are about getting your point of view over to the electorate, and not a lot more. That means a holistic approach to the session, only part of which is winning a debate. Trump did on on bumbling populist stupidity, Johnson does it with posh sounding, 'but I'm really one of you' populism, but Corbyn never really managed to convince anyone except people with similar thoughts to his own. He's preaching to the converted, not bringing lost sheep home.
You may like his politics so see him as some sort of god but, like Michael Foot, he's bloody useless at what he's supposed to be doing.
Just out of interest, who are the Corbyn worshippers round here?You may like his politics so see him as some sort of god
I was referring to your finger on the pulse references like “militant”.
Aw he's trying his hardestNo fan, but this is piss poor fella.
Er Tony Blair smashed the Labour Party of years agoI'm old - live with it.
That set of idiots have long gone but there's a new lot out there pushing extremism, and they're very bad news. They smashed the Labour party of years ago, and the modern left are being used by the 'daily mail' types of today as heralds of a dystopian future, painting a picture of a bunch of crackpot communists running an extremist party that will destroy Britain.
The truth is unimportant, but the image is so, the more the hard left push, the lesser the chance of a socialist government.
Enjoy the likely new Boris Johnson government and all it brings, because the left of the party are too entrenched in their own opinions to see they're working for him.
40% at the last general election. Never managed to convince anyone in his life.
