MODERATORS
Until he announces a new party.
Honestly he probably wouldn't for exactly that reason. While he is better than Bernie, I'm guessing he shares in the "we have to beat [the Tories/Trump]" sentiment.
Uhh no Corbyn absolutely doesn't share that sentiment lmao.
I believe the rumours. We heard about certain discussions before the news even started mentioning it. There were definitely enquiries and conversations going on behind closed doors.
If we split the labour vote and win constituencies forcing Labour to make a coalition to form a government we can actually force them left. There's no reason not to do it, same strategy that UKIP used against the conservative party to force them further right.
Is Labour really that far ahead that a spoiler couldn't hand it to the Tories?
Damn, I didn't know there's actual rumors. I thought it was more a hypothetical. Hype. Do it Jezza, please.
Nooooo not a spoiler????
I don't buy the argument that the spoiler effect is the fault of the new party or that it means people shouldn't try to start a new party, but the spoiler effect is real. It's the reason FPTP is so shit. And because it's real, many succdems do think a new party would be bad (again, I don't think that). I expected Corbyn to be one of those succdems, but I guess I might be wrong, which is good.
