No one can say who is electable but it would be very odd to vote for someone just to be a good opposition leader but who you thought wasn't able to be PM, and I thought that was what your last few lines were suggesting others should do.

It is just five years is a very long time in politics but I am certain Corbyn is the person for now Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553268250683355699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458046209351156807.post-57153944631651681902015-08-17T08:10:14.072-07:002015-08-17T08:10:14.072-07:00I think the right person to lead the opposition is...I think the right person to lead the opposition is also right person to be PM.

I think the author is just being honest about that. None of the other candidates impress me. Why should we listen to a Labour hierachy with a poor record of electability in recent times? They talk like they know the future. They don't. Nobody does.Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458046209351156807.post-39567831506378279842015-08-17T07:33:33.373-07:002015-08-17T07:33:33.373-07:00Like the article.

I think he is a great communicator who connects emotionally with his audience and his policy ideas are uncontroversial and widely popularNeil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458046209351156807.post-68265196301619712702015-08-17T06:06:37.524-07:002015-08-17T06:06:37.524-07:00Suggesting that Corbyn is voted for even if not co...Suggesting that Corbyn is voted for even if not considered suitable as PM suggests you think that it is OK for Labour to be only a party of opposition not power. Or do you mean that hard to say if any of the possible contenders could be considered PM? I'm just curious about the distinction.
