In reply to MG:
here are a few simple numbers
400,000 people voted in the labour leadership
Corbyn gets over 50% of vote
around 200,000
the country has a population of 64 million
anyone with the exact figure here can correct me but say 50 million are over 18 (not all will be registered I know)
1% of those people =500,000
less than half of 1 percent of the UK population voted for new labour leader
Labour polled 30.4% of the vote in 2015
As a life long Labour voter I think this man can not win the next general election the numbers just simply do not stack up.
When you look at a colour map of the UK the bulk of the country is Blue except London and the post industrial cities.
Middle England are rarely affected by the issues a big city faces.
People in the heart of the country will have never seen a Somalian refugee, or know what it is like to live on the dole, or be on such low pay that they need tax credit and support.
They will get what they vote for and it will be the one that keeps their rosy tinted view of the world the same.
The best to hope for is that George Osboune is the next leader at the poll and as he is so loathed the Tories only win by a small majority again.
