I am astonished that there is any defence of free spirit registering as a Labour supporter to vote for Corbyn at the same time as being not just a Green Party member but an activist (campaign manager iirc?).
If I was a GP member in his branch I'd be calling for his expulsion. Really damaging behaviour. The same for anyone else in the GP or other parties.

as I've mentioned before, I know a few people who are actively campaigning for Corbyn, including joining the party, whilst at the same time telling people to join Left Unity! And some of them are (local) office holders for LU. Tell them they're being dishonest and they look at you utterly dumbfoundedly.

So many particulars. So many questions.
recon this is because they don't see any contradiction, they're after a leftist electoral platform and anyone offering a mere glimmer of it is to be endorsed. Even the lib dems.
Personally I just want corbyn to win because a) beard lols and b) harriet harmans aggrieved face when or if it happens. The sour faces on all of them. Used motors burnham, kate burley with a degree, the patronising deputy head. It'll provide me with lols anyway.

Not at all sure about that one. Remember living in Surrey and UKIP blokes with their sexism and their 'buddies' and their desire to penetrate Margaret thought he was the second coming of Vladimir Ilich!

yeah but you are never going to sell anything left of pinochet in that neck of the woods- to supporters of trad labour values (and I grew up under major then blair so I have no rememberance of those people practising soc/dec values or even preaching them). I said straight after the defeat at the GE that they could have mobilised more voters on an anti-austerity ticket rather than some piss weak giant headstone solution. Corbyns popularity seems to me that I called it right- remember he was only put forward as the token crusty old labour left donkey jacket man from the 70s. Thats backfired on them so badly I have had to have stiches for my split sides

Ah,The Labour Leadership Show.
Coming soon to a theatre near you. A modern day tragic-farce about a once great party of long ago, now reduced to a punch-and-Judy sideshow.

It must be filling the greens with dismay all this - all them new members, fucking off at the first opportunity.
There's just so much to enjoy.

Heh.
The Greens will be better off longer term without them though.

another good thing about corbyns candidacy is that the press near shot their wads in order to label Ed Milliband as the neolenin. So now they will have to dig deeper into the big bag of red baiting cliches. Hopefully we will see the guardian screeching about stalinism at some point.

Solidarity against neoliberalism!
Some one I met in the pub was convinced that Torys were signing up for £3 just to vote for Corbyn just to make mischief.

How many shadow cabinet ministers does it take to change a light bulb?
Sorry - too risky to say without checking what the right wing press think and running it past 5 focus groups.

Your friend in the pub is not exactly up to date. That story was reported in the press a long time ago. I think it was commented on here. I may have made a contribution but can't really remember.

some of the twats have been but if they think corbyn would kill the party quicker than Kendall mint cake then it just shows how little they understand people.

Really have to pinch myself that I wasn't dreaming when I read Unison(inc the leadership) were backing Corbyn, this is Union that has witch hunted leftists and greens from the union.

Wow. Normally there's one or two sentences in an article/interview that can sum up why you dislike someone, but there it's pretty much every one of them!

next proper election is Holyrood next year, after the abstain fiasco the ONLY leader that could breath life back into the embers of what is left of Scottish Labour-would be Corbyn. And this fucker would want rid even before that election.
If the Blairites do get rid without giving him enough rope to hang himself there really isn't any point in a Labour party.
