| Quote: DGM "I suppose that's why the Labour Membership voted him in, twice, hoping that he can convert those personal principles and values into realistic policies that the general electorate and also his MP's can get behind. That second bit hasn't happened yet, and doesn't look like it will do to be honest, but he'd be a massive hypocrite just like most of the others in Westminster if he did as you suggest.
Ultimately, Corbyn's election wins were also protest votes in a sense. A big 'f-you' to the career-politicians and bull**itters that most of us loathe, people voting for anti-establishment, just like other votes we've seen in recent years.
However, the Richmond by-election isn't really one to judge him on. There have though been 6 other by-elections since Corbyn was elected leader, with Labour holding 5, and the Tories holding 1, but I must have missed the 5 threads on here titled "Labour heading for power"
You'll have to start a new "Labour heading for power" thread, that could be interesting.
I think that with Scotland likely to be a write off for some while, Labour may have to join forces with the SNP, to have any hope of holding the reins in Westminster but, a formal pact with the SNP could damage them further, south of the border.
Now, there's a conundrum.

| Whether you agree with Trident or not to have unilateral nuclear disarmament as part of your manifesto is political suicide.

| Having a nuclear DETERENT didn't deter Argentina, and they aint got nukes!!!!
Catching water in a colander is the usual spiel, plus does anyone actually know if these things work?
I thought there was a test ban treaty.
Is daddy warbucks short of a bob or two?

| Proponents of nuclear weapons would say they deter a nuclear attack. There may be something in that.
I don’t think anyone’s ever said they deter all wars.
