2015 hasn’t been the happiest of years for Labour. They have had worse ones – 1931, perhaps – but it’s still been a bit of a shocker. Today’s leadership election result ought to close that chapter and open a new and more hopeful one.

    I cannot say that if Corbyn becomes Labour Leader at midday, that Labour will not get another Jewish vote, but it will be in the hundreds instead of the thousands that Labour usually gets.
    Still, he'll have a major part of the muslim vote sown up.

    Labour people say Corbyn's weakness is lack of charisma or the right wing media but for me it's the policies.

    Wait until the voters hear about getting out of nato, nuclear disarmament, and most of all, yet more mass immigration.

    Mr. Tudor, saw a few minutes of the interview on Youtube, then stopped watching. Constant interruptions and condescending attitude put me off.

    Paxman was overrated. Newsnight has a bad history of presenters trying to make themselves look good by tripping up ministers and claiming scalps. Oddly, the best presenter I saw was probably Nick Robinson, who did it for a brief stint whilst others were away, and acted more as a chairman rather than seeing himself as a pugilist in a verbal bout.

    Edited extra bit: was the Obama comparison to do with having a few months in the job? :p

    The confrontational style of long form interview asking difficult questions is really difficult to do. It requires meticulous research and needs to let the interviewee say enough to dig the hole.

    The best at this that immediately springs to mind is Stephen Sackurs' HardTalk on BBC World - why does this not make the terrestrial channel I don't know. Surprisingly a dose of humour can also help drop the guard of the interviewee, see Jon Stewart or even Ali G for examples of that.

    Going back a bit - Brian Walden was superb at the probing half-hour interview. He really got you to the core beliefs of the interviewee without ever being rude , aggressive or raising his voice.

    If Labour do it again in a couple of years, does that mean "Registered Supporters" who really aren't supporters get to vote then if they just keep their heads down?

    And because it will presumably be run as tightly as a whalebone corset they may have some extra influence proportionally.

    I wonder if we will ever know how many incomers there were. 200+ Green candidates implies quite a lot of unidentified Greens.

    Pleasing hearing about Tory aggression towards the BBC.

    If as expected Corbyn wins then I think the BBC is going to get a well earned kicking as the Tories become more confident. I can see them gradually cutting funding and privatising them after 2020 if they win again.
  • kle4kle4 Posts: 99,130
    It will be very interesting to see if Corbyn as leader, if he wins, can indeed try to transform the role into something he finds more comfortable, than the current role which he certainly never expected to be in a position to fill, or whether he either cracks under the strain or finds talents in areas he never expected to and rises to the challenge. Certainly the fact that his biggest parliamentary cheerleader is Diane Abbot, who I find quite distasteful and, if she is bright, then for some reason makes a lot of statements that make her appear not very bright, probably makes it harder to see him succeeding that may be fair.

    Yes. It's also amusing to see people misunderstanding the best way to operate under AV. For example, fairly early in this contest it became apparent that the only potential way to beat Corbyn was for the other candidates to unite behind a single unity "stop Corbyn" candidate. But to suggest this was to get rubbished for "not understanding AV". Which is to take an extremely simplistic view of the operation of AV and the way that multiple candidates campaigning against each other will change the way the contest is conducted and the way people will vote on lower preferences.

    They won't have it all their own way. No matter how poor most of the may be, Cameron will trip up or be tripped up on something even they can catch him on, there are simply too many vulnerabilities that could arise, so they can attempt to shame them week in, week out, but it might not always work out.

    I think the smart Tory move is to not target Corbyn, but target the Labour party for electing him and Labour MPs forced to defend his policy positions. The more the problem is seen with the alternatives to Corbyn and the wider Labour party, the less the potential for a mid-term defenestration and pretending it never happened.

  • hunchmanhunchman Posts: 2,591
    One thing that hasn't received any attention is Corbyn's brother Piers who runs the wonderful website Weatheraction.com and has a long term forecasting record second to none with a complete rejection of the man made global warming agenda. I would expect attention to be drawn to this at some point. I do have common cause with Corbyn as a republican but that isn't going to be a fight that he'll take on sadly in my opinion. The global sovereign debt crisis will present opportunities to corbyn if he can see off the initial threats to his leadership. The next 4 or 5 years were already going to be fascinating enough already. This adds to it further!

    If Corbs does go for rotating reps at PMQ, the who decides who the Govt would put up?

    Is it a "usual channels" process, or do we get Diddy Man Bingo?

    BBC Story headline 'Labour prepare to crown new leader'. Not the most appropriate way to describe a republican likely winning, but never mind.
