The Labour Party simply has no place in modern Britain. It is a relic of times past and should be consigned to the dustbin.
That does not, however, detract from the fact that this country desperately needs a strong - and credible - opposition party. Left alone to do as they please, the Tories will undoubtedly fuck things up.

The problem is that there isn't one and unless something changes dramatically there won't be one at the next election either. Look at who we have now, for all their bluff and bluster anyone with a brain south of Hadrian's Wall knows that the SNP has one aim only - to rinse the rest of the UK for all it is worth and the rest of the parties don't have the muscle or the competence to accomplish anything.

For all his faults Blair's NewLabour saved us from 5 more years of horrendously disfunctional mid 90s Tories just like CallMeDave rescued us from the Gorgon.
By 2020 if the Tories do OK enough I dread what George "you're all in it together" Osborne or Teresa "really am making this up" May would foist on us with no credible opposition.
And if the Tories have effed up then Nick could have gifted us the horrors of life under Corbyn.

Well, blaming Nick isn't entirely rational given the apparent huge lead that Jezza has in the polls.... It is clear that thousands have taken advantage of the £3 deal...
And I don't see the attraction of the centre... We have had three parties that are barely distinguishable from each other on their main policies. While they all talk of different things and while the opposition shout and scream in the Commons that the Tories support the rich or whatever where are the differences...? Where is Austerity...? Where is the bonfire of the quangos? Where is there evidence that we are moving towards smaller government...?
I'd like to see Jezza win.... not because he would consign Labour to the dustbin of politics either... While (IMHO) he offers the politics of the asylum he is eloquent and passionate about socialism. It might be a good thing to have a hard left opposition led by powerful speaker like Corbyn... Wouldn't PMQs be interesting if the opposition was arguing for something different - not just arguing that the PM was wrong or had made a mistake...? It might actually allow (or force) the Tories more to the right which wouldn't be a bad thing IMHO...
And if he promises everybody a pony and they put him in power (quite a likely event) then so be it... it might be the reset that we need.

And there are clearly hundreds of thousands, probably millions of them that believe you can have a 'living wage', cheap nationalised utilities and yes, probably a free pony too just by 'taxing the rich'...

The UK electorate certainly has its faults. As I've often said we get the politicians we deserve and so so many people vote on the basis of either "what's in it for me now" or "they can't be as bad as what we have now"
But the May election went against that, when it came to the polling booths many people voted for what they saw as credible.
As an ardent centrist/floating voter I just don't get this allegation that they are all the same. OK so the days of one side posturing to ditch the NHS and the other to nationalise everything have gone - surely that's good.
The last election was fought on two areas. Welfare and Financial credibility. And while the latter may seem dull it is very important to people whether they have a job and in the end the most credible party won even with a very vindictive line on welfare.
If you really think they were all the same see here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/manifesto-guide (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/manifesto-guide)
Corbynism threatens to overturn this. He is a fundamentally dishonest politician with his promises to adopt a whole raft of socialist ideals and still tell people they would be better off. In power he would take us right back to 1978 misery. Worse he is manifestly an ineffective politician, with him at the despatch box the Tories can abandon their more moderate elements and become very vindictive.

when you said "manifestoes had no meaning whatsoever".
It's a common belief or should I say misbelief? I see so many people that say they will vote for party X and then admit they haven't read a word of their manifesto or election literature. As I said, we increasingly get the politicians our increasingly shallow voters deserve. I believe the two behaviours are linked.
I really do recommend people to scan read manifestoes, it's so easy with pdf downloads and Cntrl F to look for key points of interest but even if not, the major media do dissect them very well as per the Beeb link I gave.
So to the point at hand, Corbyn hasn't put out a manifesto per se but his campaign web site is facepalm: imho
http://www.jeremyforlabour.com/ (http://www.jeremyforlabour.com/) (you need to drill down through it)
Votes at 16, massive giveaways, cripple industry, an invite to bring back Rackmanism, more and more windymills, people to give up cars for nationalised public transport, huge extra expenses for employers and yet we're supposed to believe unemployment won't soar etc etc.
The man trades on a dishonest projection of supposed honesty.

true but as the body of that article shows it was a seriously flawed case as the judges said no promise was actually broken.
It's very hard to hold a government to account for not 100% doing what it promised in a manifesto, there are so many issues with back bench rebellions and new facts that arise to expect perfection.
But when you look across the years they do made very serious efforts to implement their manifestoes and when you drill down through many alleged broken manifesto promises you nigh on every time find it was never in the manifesto or that party did not become the government.
So when this government reneged in weeks on its explicit manifesto promise to cap the cost to the aged for their care, that was a bit of a shock ;D. I don't think they've heard the last of that but we'll see.
Anyway if Corbyn ever becomes PM or his inadequacy hands it to a nasty Tory PM then I for one will blame the most accessible scapegoats.

The problem with the word socialism is there are way too many Corbynistas and Michael Footinmouthites that think it means public ownership of all employment. It does not.
FWIW I thought NewLabs version worked well until the fatally weakened Blair let Brown run riot.
As for this election the figures show it very much was perverted. Corbyn had a majority of just over 80,000 votes. He got more than that (88,499) out of the 105,000 three pounders plus then there are the 100,000 new members since the election. Those so committed to Labour they did stuff all to help when it mattered.
As for Arsebook of course Corbyn with his ghost written economics complete with false endoresment were so popular there. Any fool or fraud can promise free money, take a fucking genius to deliver it without nasty consequences.

It will be interesting to see the results of the post mortem and just exactly how many of those that voted for him were nasty tories and how many were the likes of Owen Jones and his mass of followers and other union members...
...you know, those that really do believe that public ownership of everything is a good thing....
...those that have ignored or forgotten the complete failure of socialism every single time it has been tried....
Whatever. It is a change in British politics that was needed IMHO... the coagulation of politics in the centre has not been good for the country (IMHO) and this will hopefully move the tories towards the right or leave a gap for UKIP...

Sounds like he has made some blinding choices for his shadow cabinet... noooo:
Quote
Labour's new shadow farming minister is a vegan animal rights activist who believes cattle and sheep farming is 'no longer sustainable'.
Bristol MP Kerry McCarthy, who has railed against the Government's badger cull despite widespread support among farmers, was given the top shadow cabinet post in Jeremy Corbyn's controversial reshuffle today. The appointment was attacked by the Countryside Alliance who urged the Labour party to 're-engage' with farmers.
Ms McCarthy's promotion was one of a number of surprise appointments to the shadow cabinet, in a chaotic day in Westminster.
Michael Dugher – a self-declared 'curry obsessive' and karaoke fan – was made Culture Secretary.
Lucy Powell – Ed Miliband's former adviser – was given the plum job of Education Secretary despite admitting last month that she had 'never, ever met or spoken to' Mr Corbyn.
Labour's new chief whip in the Lords, Steve Bassam, meanwhile, is the chief executive of the Squatters Association.
Not to mention the new Shadow Chancellor is an 'ultra-radical MP' (or as normal people would say, a complete cockwomble), IRA sympathiser who was once quoted as wanting to assassinate Margaret Thatcher, and close friend of Jeremy Corbyn who would 'swim through vomit' to oppose benefits cuts.
This is sounding less like a political party and more like a fringe protest group. noooo:
