Agreed.

He becomes PM - I may even move back to London !

Finally a. Fucking opposition to austerity !!!!!

He's my local MP and he deserves to have a good run at it without the others in his party planning his downfall.

Good day to add your name to this if your in the uk.

This should start some good and exciting times in British politics without the bland, watered down Tory politics that Labour have been showing of late. He's stood up and shown his worth.

Suprising there are so many Corbyn fans on here considering how elitist collectiong urban/contemporary art has got. I'm not overly interested by politics but if someone gave me £50 to bet on the next government in 2020, I'd be pretty confident that today's vote has all but wrapped up another Tory majortiy.

I'm honestly not that sure about that.
I suspect that the Tory's popularity will plummet.

Couldn't believe one shadow minister resigned before Corbyn had even finished his speech!

If you had any idea what you were talking about you'd know this scene grew out of working class struggle across the world in very different ways but struggle none the less

unfortunately urban art is the shitty consumerist weak stupid great uncle of that struggle 

I'm fully aware of the history, yet this is 2015 and it's the Banksy forum we are posting on. An artist that currently sells his work in a private room which his fans are not even allowed to go into unless they are on a special rich list.  I'm not aware of any of said artist's prints currently available for under £3k, which is around 6/7 weeks post tax wages for the average Brit. Hence, my surprise that there are still any left wingers left here.  I'm pretty sure that unless a crash of Greek proportions hits the UK that the right of centre ground will continue to be the dominant force in politics. That's why the current government will be delighted that a Blairite lite candidate like Burnham didn't win.

The bookies took the assumption your making, they started him at 100/1 to win. he ended up at 1/16 to win. The tory rhetoric is happily and as ever a mile from the view of the people and that has just been proven. Just because all you hear is negativity, doesn't dictate that will be the outcome, sometimes its just the background noise of bias. 

We will see in the election and not before, but id say your assumption there is way off the mark. 

Most importantly, he has empowered the people to actually FEEL politics is theirs to own if they want it. This is something most have lost ANY hope of and that may well bring out a phenomenal amount of previous non voters in the next election. 

 

Eye and ball the key words over the next few weeks.

Change does not sound like change if the shadow cab remains 75 % intact.

Saying what people might want to hear will only sure fire (win) in the short term , short term is what got us into where we are. Looks like he got in on hysteria and emotion ffs not a good sign.
( mind you the competition were something akin to blow up clones vile )

Corbie is old guard , I respect his view but I still believe old g is not what I'm about for any side , if I ever take sides.

Eye on ball... Remember ... I'll still be here in a couple of years come back to this thread and see what exactly he changes if nada is the answer then wtf was change then eh ?

Forward is never backward in any book ... Left is 'fine' ( read possible ) if you are flush , we're not flush... And won't be for a good while , excuse the pun on we're there ...

Don't be misinterpreting what I'm saying here , he has a chance but .... The odds are stacked , he has form and what it adds up to does not even vaguely resemble change with a capital c.

He will have to bend , now whether that is a bend as in bend over remains to be seen. If it's a bend as in volte face then it's status quo , snafu.

The Tories don't deserve a mention , they have no idea how to field this , he's a wild card ... Nobody deals well with a wildcard... Look at wee Nicky from up the road.... ( nobody knows how to manage her... She's a uxb... With the big c... ( charisma) , Dc has failed to manage her so far... Remember ??)

Left is fine is you are flush I think means if the country has money to invest. We don't have that at the moment.

The last time the higher tax rate was increased to 50% less tax was collected on the whole than when the higher rate was 45%. IMO higher taxes are not the answer.
