Wonder what those who would like this current leadership contest suspended (or cancelled until they can find a way to only allow the right kind of candidates to be nominated?) imagine will happen if a rerun was imposed on the membership? I imagine the PLP will get the equivalent of a resounding kick up the jacksy with even more people trying to vote for a 'wrong candidate' next time - or mass resignations etc if the process is altered to put the power and control further away from ordinary members.

Someone help me out here."But in a thousand ways, small or large, which anyone in government can describe, being in power can make a difference to those we represent. The reality is that in the last three months the Labour party has been changed. Its membership has virtually doubled. Some will have joined in shock at the election result; many more are now joining specifically to support the Corbyn campaign; some with heavy organisation behind them. These last two groups are not many in number, relative to the population. But relative to the membership of a political party, they’re easily big enough to mount a partial takeover. The truth is they don’t really think it matters whether Labour wins an election or not. Some actually disdain government."

As I said this morning, I wish we could be nicer to each other. It can't be that hard. I have quite deliberately read but not commented on some points I really don't agree with because if they come from posters I like and respect I'd rather not get into a scrap. Obviously that does not apply to deliberate wind-ups that have no place here.
I'll be glad when it's all done. And I hope that those who are not engaged in this alleged love-fest, the ones whose absolute certainty that they are right and everyone else is wrong, try to be a bit more tolerant and try to work with whatever it is that we get.
Most people here are pleasant and reasonable, and that's fine. It only takes one or two to spoil it.

Re: Wednesday 12th August 2015
Blair is an arse but he is in my view right about Corbyn. He won 3 elections and as Tubby's graph shows did more for the poor of this country than Jeremy Corbyn, Michael Foot and even Ed Miliband ever did.HindleA wrote:Corbyn:Er Tone,It looks like I will win,could you do us us a favour and make it certain
This is surreal.
He was also right about the 2015 election. Note that even the exit polls were pro Labour biased which means the shy Tories are back. A lot of people in this country know it is morally wrong, are ashamed about it, but still vote Tory (and lie about it).
Does that really suggest a country that is in the mood for a radical left wing government? I think it suggests a country fearful of too much change and worrying primarily about the economy and their pockets.
I hope Ed Miliband will intervene and point out that electing the unelectable while emotionally satisfying is probably not in the long term interests of the country. However he probably won't. Brown definitely won't bother as he has withdrawn from politics.
However at this point I doubt it will make any difference.
I notice dear old Shirl ( national treasureTM) is predicting a new centre left party will be formed, we could call it SDP 2.0. For the record it is unlikely because unlike the isolated Gang of Four, the vast majority of the parliamentary party is centrist.

I am amused they reject 50% of requests for details and refused to remove 9 tweets. Rather begs the question who is asking and on what basis. In general a warrant should have been served compelling handover of data. Are law enforcement asking without authority on the off chance?

And the suspension of the two electrification is sod all to do with HS2- completely different funding. You might as well say it was suspended for free schools or the pension triple lock. It was suspended because of the horlicks of the Great Western electrification.
Questioning HS2 as value for money is fair enough- though northern city councils are strongly in favour of it, and are going to use it to attract more investment. But this is man in the pub bollocks.

How many trains does he think HS2 are going to run?! It'll have to be a lot to make Manchester into a "dormitory town for London".Corbyn will also raise a question over the government’s plans to build the HS2 high-speed railway line to the north, on the grounds that it will drain other lines of investment and turn northern cities into “dormitories for London businesses”.
His document says: “The Conservative government has torn schools away from the support networks of local authorities, regardless of the wishes of teachers and parents, and made them accountable directly to Whitehall, bypassing parents and local communities. They have suspended the much needed investment in rail infrastructure in the north to fund HS2, a project with the aim of turning our great regional cities into dormitories for London businesses.”

The problem is then you look at it rationally and realise that it won't work and people won't vote for somebody to experiment with the economy. Peoples QE and the re-industrialisation of the North. Great sound-bites utterly impractical. Perhaps if he was nice and cuddly and decided to fix just one thing within a conventional economic framework - housing for example; he might go down rather well.
