might explain a weariness Labour mates were having at the weekend

When yet another friend posted on Facebook that he’d received three Labour phone calls and eight emails in seven days and was thinking of leaving because of it

Really that's it? A little over 1 email I'll a day! That's what the fuss was about?

This is a vote for the only potential left of center challenger for prime minister there is likely to be, so ultimately it's a vote for who I'd prefer to see as Prime Minister. Now the SNP have the whole of Scotland, the chances are this will be a coalition or minority government with confidence and supply by other left of centre parties, but either way in any successful challenge to the tories, the leader of the Labour party will become the prime minister heading up either a majority labour government, a coalition or minority labour government.

We don't get to vote directly for prime minister in this country, so this is the only real chance any of us have to directly influence that selection of the person I'd want to end up as prime minister.

that's your excuse? Fucking pathetic. You sound like a six year old - 'You cant have a vote Johnny' 'waaaaah, but mummy, I want one, its not fair'

I am still surprised that wankers get paid for churning this crap out.

"I joined a political party aged 38 and the Party I joined sends me emails and stuff. It's all too stressful". Fuck off you prick.

Is there a point to this post?

And yet you make no attempt to address the point raised in the that post.

the point? What that a member of a party other than Labour wants a vote because its his only chance to vote for a potential PM? Such a 'point' deserves nothing but absolute contempt.

If you and he want to live in the USA, please move there. Otherwise, you'd be better working out how our political system works.

you're right. should also join the tories.

Absolute contempt is a bit much isn't it? I dont think I could muster much more than mild scorn.

you might be right, largely depends on the size of my hangover

It's divertingly interesting to observe that while Ed Miliband suffered under the perception of being 'a red' and a media battering, Corbyn seems to actually be benefiting from the attempts by the media and his own party to take him down under the same accusations. The efforts are in fact being mocked, and seemingly strengthening his support!

Admittedly I still suspect it's a little different outside the lefty bubble of urban and, to a lesser extent, my Facebook feed, but there certainly seems to be a different attitude to a similar, if not identical, rhetoric.

maybe because miliband was in fact not red ed.

 

[Lord Camomile]

maybe because miliband was in fact not red ed.

And so didn't get the support from either side, you mean? Aye, fair point I suppose.

 

[SpackleFrog]

prepared to consider? You'd bloody jump at the chance!

Yes, provided it represented something we could work with in. We didn't fully enter Syriza and we're not totally inside Die Linke.
