Jeremy Corbyn Elected

Ah, but he hasn't changed his views, he's just been made to realise that the rest of the party won't go along with that particular one - and there will be others no doubt.

Will there be any of his proposed policies that survive until the next election, I wonder

What about Trident, Anya?

Was I watching the news from planet Zog perhaps? There are two very opposing views on Trident.

I actually feel sorry for JC as he's 'dammed if be does and dammed if he doesn't'.

Absolutely brilliant headline in the Telegraph tomorrow, about Corbyn and Comrades. Every time a newspaper does that, he gets more support.

I don't understand why people are missing what is so blindingly obvious.

Trident!

Why has McCluskey got Jeremy Corbyn by the short and curlies?

Rosesarered, why will Corbyn have to change his views and on what will he have to change his views?

Jen The press (and some members of GN ) just don't get democracy do they. I think the press will just find more and more are going to online sources for their information - well those that care about it being a little closer to a balance opinion.

One thing they, and others, seem to have problems with is bottom up democracy instead of top down dictatorship. All this talk about splits etc., when people do not need to be beaten into changing their views they just need to understand the meaning of democracy - difficult for those of the far right of course.

(although nice touch of humour in your last post, Anniebach )

Blimey, rosequartz, you were right about people not getting irony!

I would say Rcayse was Welsh for because but that would be a lie

I think. Rcayse you want to believe it Anya, s few posts earlier you asked a rather silly question about who was leader , your still at, perhaps you would care to share your reason for your belief ?

Anya! what a truly terrible image!

McCluskey - just spotted the correct spelling on the news (more like McScruffy)

Why do I sense that McClusky has Corbyn by the short and curlies over a barrel.

Either 'Corby' will have to change his views ( will he?) or the majority of Labour MP's will, which is the more likely?!

Rosequartz, it isn't a law , no more than the wearing of top hats were always worn in the house untill Keir Hardie turned up in a cloth cap, I am not a person who thinks parliment should be the same now as in the 19th century , you do,

Oh I see, misread that - you are speaking for good working class people...just not good working people.

Oh, not working class now, dj? Which you were this afternoon...

Here's something else that looks good, Gracesgran.

revolutionarysocialismuk.wordpress.com/2015/09/27/labour-streets-ahead-tories-battered-after-just-2-weeks-in-latest-ipsos-mori-poll/

It all depends on who is interpreting that Ipsos Mori poll.

Whose status quo, roseq? When you consider all the important topics in the news, you will find that the shadow cabinet has women as spokespersons in education, health, business, defence, environment, energy, international development, law, transport, Wales, women and equalities, and the chief whip.

They are all important to me and many other people in the country. Note I am not speaking for good working people.

16:05:58 Jen that is looking good.

Defind in the 19th century (but not by me!)
Well, yes, worth a rethink
And I don't think the Leader of the Opposition can change it all by himself, so perhaps he can suggest it to the rest of Parliament if he thinks it needs updating.
But, as I said, it is the status quo

Defind in the 19th century ? We had the death penalty, women couldn't vote, children worked in coal mines in the 19th century, we didn't have the NHS in the 19th century and education was not available to all in the 19th century

Me? I am not the political animal on here

Who am I to say which job is 'more top' than another? It is what it is as they say, I can't change it

Rosequartz, you seem very concerned with how things are viewed in political circles ,
