Highlandmagyar Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 If Smith wins (lol) how long does he get to turn the polls around before being declared unelectable and having another leadership election? The PLP would probably give him until next GE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 The complaints aren't simply that he's unelectable. Many have stated that he's incompetent and cited shambolic situations. Although the PLP have behaved poorly, I'm sure they'd give Smith a chance if he behaved like a leader should and was competent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By behaving like a leader and being competent, do you really mean carrying on with the not so centre left policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Every time I go on to the politics section of the BBC website there's another Owen Smith story. You simply can't buy publicity like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 By behaving like a leader and being competent, do you really mean carrying on with the not so centre left policies. No. I mean not coming out the day after Brexit and asking for Article 50 to be invoked immediately. Or hiring and firing someone with cancer. Or the shambles talked about by Lilian Greenwood. The things that, whatever his politics, show that he's not up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I'm not the type of person who would worship someone without question. Too many stories coming from the same source to give them any real credibility. Everybody that wants him out will happily lie through their teeth to achieve this. Btw, i'm not a Corbyn or Labour Party supporter. As i've said before, I just think the attitude from his fellow MPs is shan. Their behaviour is doing far more damage to the party than good. But then again, that's their objective. They can't have a less than Conservative party "challenging" the Conservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If that's held up will the people who donated the £25 get their money back? This whole situation is a shambles. It's incredible that Corbyn is happy to do this to his own party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 You're blaming Corbyn for trying to ban Corbyn voters from voting? Interesting take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blood is on the hands of Labour roasters like yourself, who don't have 2 brain cells to rub together. Good fucking riddance to the lot of you.

This whole situation is a shambles. It's incredible that Corbyn is happy to do this to his own party. What exactly is Corbyn doing? He didn't enforce this rule. The whole point is that those who donated that £25 will actually be able to vote. Or are you completely misunderstanding the situation here?
