I think CLP (going by last time) is somewhat of an indicative of how members vote: that said going by last time it is not an exact indicative, which is how the CLP nominations are being treated.
Jeremy Corbyn has just drawn level with Andy Burnham on CLP nominations, with 48 each. #Corbygasm
When this election started Corbyn looked to be smarter than Foot. Now he looks even more stupid! The Labour Party (well frankly all political parties these days) need to take note of the underlying culture of the nation as developed by Ch4 - you keep the thickest stupidest person (the one you dislike most and want to see make ever bigger fools of themselves) in the Big Brother House for as long as possible, all so you can have a good laugh at their expense. The real hashtag for Corbyn is #greendonkeyjacket
So presumably in the event of a Corbyn victory, the Labour party dies (according to Tories), who becomes the official opposition? Genuinely interested, as despite the fact Labour have no chance winning with Corbyn, I doubt the actual party would 'die'.
Even 'dead' the party would get some opposition done, just as the Tories did in the dark days, they'd just be much more irrelevant and reliant on the Tories messing up and getting unlucky in events. As it is, they're merely panicking too much after spending 5 years not panicking enough (though people like me agreed with them not needing to panic, though I at least conceded they did not need to risk complacency)
Tbh the only panicking I've seen is this poll, and at the CLP nominations from people in the Labour party. I'd love to see Dan Hodges timeline....

True, but bear in mind this is AV. I'm hoping sense will prevail and Corbyn will not be leader. I think if that happens there's a reasonable chance of a breakaway party and a rerun of the 80s. That would be very bad for Britain. We need a relevant opposition.
That said, I am now already turning my energies to campaign for PR within the Labour Party. FPTP is bankrupt in a multi-party state. I've always been an opponent of FPTP. Current events only serve to light that fire further.

Given if we take CLP nominations as reflective of votes, it would appear that Burnham/Corbyn are pretty much tied. Corbyn voters second preferences will most likely be for Burnham I'm thinking it's probably likely that Burnham will win the leadership. I had hope for Yvette, and I thought she would win yesterday but tbh, it appears this is unlikely.
Apparently the European Commission's latest idea is that the UK's contribution to the Greek bridging finance can be set off against the European Central Bank’s €3.4 billion profits from Greek bonds. This is quite extraordinary. Firstly, those profits can only be realised in accordance with article 33 of the bank's statute, which does not allow for the proposal. Secondly, this would amount to ECB guaranteeing the UK's lending, which is explicitly forbidden by article 123(1) TFEU. No doubt this wholly illegal proposal will escape challenge, but the fact it is even being suggested demonstrates the lengths to which the EU institutions will go to defy of their own rules.
What's ridiculous is the view the EU took in the Greek negotiations:
"I’m not discussing the programme – this was accepted by the previous government and we can’t possibly allow an election to change anything."
So agreements, even those made by different governments, must always be stuck to by member states, but the EU can chuck them out with impunity.
While I took a harsh view toward Greece and their various claims about democracy and how that meant they should get a better deal and so on, I have to admit I recall thinking years ago in response to I believe a German official comment along those lines, that it was nonsense. Of course a new government can ignore or rip a commitment made by a previous government. They would no doubt face some major consequences if they did, it might be really unwise, but they absolutely could if they wanted to.
And, of course, Junker has made the argument that a political agreement has no legal force
And equally of course no one - on either side of this Greek shambles - is willing to admit to the mistakes they made at the outset of it all when Greece was allowed in/joined the Euro.

If it is a Burnham v Corbyn race neither's preferences will come into play. Burnham will have to rely on Cooper and Kendall's preferences to beat JC!

The next leader is a caretaker anyway seeing as it is extremely unlikely that Labour can win a majority next time. The maths don't stack up. Corbyn would be a disaster. Burnham would be marginally better than Ed, but no more. Labour will be out of power for at least 15 years whoever wins. I suspect the game has changed and we are in for a long period of Conservative govt. 20 or 25 years would not surprise me at this point. The Labour Party hasn't realised that the ground has shifted beneath them and it shows no signs of realising that either.
The Tories are not loved either. They've realised how FPTP can be used to maximum advantage when your opponents are split and they are capitalising on it like never before.
All in all it is a recipe for a fallow period of democracy and political engagement with all the social tensions that that implies.
Seems like countries where people have to work hard for what they've got don't mind literally putting up a fence to stop migrants lowering their standard of living

I doubt the Tories will be in power for twenty-five years, but I'd at least have hoped they could cut the Tories majority. Seems like Labour party members want to live in a cuckoo land, and there is no helping them. It's sad, because millions will be affected by this government's decisions, and they'll let them all down because of their idiocy.

Agree completely. I hope that won't happen, but if the last few months are a guideline I expect it will. I hope the more cerebral Tories will see that as a very bad thing too. This country needs a coherent opposition, now and in the future whatever the colour of the government.
What a bozo you are. We have the ocean to stop illegal immigrants. As the WSJ headline says - ''Hungary Takes Steps to Restrict Illegal Immigration'' llegal.

Provided Corbyn does not win I could see 1 of the other 3 having a chance v Osborne in 2020, after 10 years in power all parties are vulnerable. A strong performance by Corbyn could also give the party a slight boost in Scotland
He has his supporters. Students and young'uns seem to love him, as do recent joiners to the party.
He'd certainly bring the defectors to the Greens back and there's a lot of youthful enthusiasm (it reminds me of the Benn deputy leadership insurgency). The number of new members is very striking now - membership is up around 25% since the election - though they aren't all left-wing by any means.
So far, all the contenders are being careful not to burn bridges. Corbyn's CLP victory speech tonight was notably non-triumphalist - the general flavour was "whether we win or not we will have shown real enthusiasm for a clear alternative", which is fair enough. Labour can't win with a pure left message, but we also can't win without an idealistic element - it's always been a question of balance.

Thanks for that, Nick. Do you feel there is a disconnect between the party "out in the wild" and on the green benches? The Labour left seems significantly less prominent in parliament than in the wider party, but I'm not sure how much of that stems from how the bulk of the party membership at large are not so active and engaged. I imagine there are a lot of "quiet centrists".

There seems to be deal of complacency, or lack of imagination(?) about among govt supporters (I don't know if you are among their number HYUFD. How certain are you that that conservative govt with a majority of 12 (which only operates with a fair wind) can last until 2020 with a disruptive referendum in the middle of it, and "events" likely from europe and elsewhere.

All Souls economist Kevin O'Rourke says the next Left-wing party that rises to challenge the EMU will not be as "feckless" as Mr Tsipras, and will not bargain from a position of such abject weakness.
"The lesson that they will draw from this debacle is: negotiating with Germany is a waste of time; be willing to act unilaterally, be willing to default unilaterally, have a plan for achieving a primary surplus if you haven’t already achieved it, have a hard default and euro exit option in your back pocket, and be willing to use it at the first sign of hassle from the ECB," he said.
