    Burnham could well still pick up more second prefs of Corbyn over Liz or Yvette ;)

    I think we need a thread explaining how AV works.......
    Noone will ever know how Jezza's second prefs (or none) are though :P
    Because in all probability, they will not come into play, Mr Star.

    I think you do really know how AV works, Mr Star - but I would rather like to see another thread on it, just to make sure.

    Matthew Parris is very hit and miss these days. He wrote a brilliant article a few days ago on the Edward Heath allegations.

    Swinney. Financial genius...

    @HTScotPol: SNP had record £7m income last year and still ended up £500k in the red, new accounts show http://t.co/Kj2upUZEjR http://t.co/qLdGfiRCGh

    well much as I laugh at Eckonomics, if there was year to overspend it was Indyref year.Frankly one should be asking why the deficit wasn't greater.

    It's a reasonable point.

    If Corybn becomes leader, then it will be a sea change in British politics. That will end up changing the tory party as well, it has to.

    I made this point before the election, I will find the post to prove it!

    I see no reason why in the near future, when petty , pretend differnces are put to one side, there wont be a realignment of the parties

    Left leaning Libdem, Progressive Labour, Greens, and SNP
    Blairite Labour/Cameroons/Orange Bookers
    Old Labour/Right Leaning Tories/UKIP

    In Peter Sellers last film Being There the central character was Chauncey Gardiner a simple man whose banal statements were mistaken for pearls of wisdom. He has been reborn as Jeremy Corbyn. The Labour Party are now so confused by their defeat in May that they are going to vote for Chauncey. His view of the world appeals to them. It can be written in slogans on t shirts.Corbyn, like Chauncey is calm and detached, secure in his own limitations. This election is now beyond parody. Can someone please whisper to the Guardian and the Labour Party that Chauncey did not really exist

    Chauncey Gardiner also walked on water - just like JC...

    I have made my own party choice based on who I want to share a party with just as much as where exactly I am on the political spectrum.

    Final call for £3 text supporters - I see that 14 year olds can join for a £1 - can they vote?

    Camilla Long described Comrade Corbyn's utterances as *phatic*.

    I had to Google that one.
    phatic
    ˈfatɪk/
    adjective: phatic

    denoting or relating to language used for general purposes of social interaction, rather than to convey information or ask questions. Utterances such as hello, how are you? and nice morning, isn't it? are phatic.

    @NCPoliticsUK: 9 points is the biggest CON lead in an ICM poll while in government since May 1992, and the second biggest ever, according to @markpack's db

    I think it is the 3rd highest ICM lead (whilst in Govt) since Oct1987.
    Dec 1987 10 lead
    09 May 1992 11 lead

    Is there a list of people who have ruled themselves in/out of a Corbyn shadow cabinet?
