You know. This pretty much is the white elephant in the  room with Corbyn argument.

People confusing labour grassroots supporters as being the same as people who vote labour in a general election.

Labour's grassroots might well be very socialist. But as soon as you widen that to the broader electorate, I just don't see how his ideas and policies have any chance of getting labour elected.

The whole unelectability debate is a sham.

Tell me, how on earth will anyone ever again sell a New Labour candidate to British populace? If the Conservatives keep up their cuts and anti-social measures, people WILL vote for a consistant socialist.

 

Well time will tell.

Tories are already distancing themselves from Osbornomics though. Theresa May has launched a siege on traditional labour territory. All I see personally is labour's appeal shrinking.

The SNP stole it in Scotland, and the Tories are moving in, in England.
