The worst thing is not that they failed, I can imagine being in that position and feeling like Nicola Murray in The Thick Of It ("against these puppy murderers, how could I not win?"). But to have quite clearly failed with no reasonable expectation of, or plan for, recovery and NOT doing the honourable thing and falling on his sword - that would be the worst thing. If (when) Corbyn persists after an election defeat, then he will have lost all goodwill from me.
I was, you could say, a natural target for Corbyn. My vote was ripe for the winning, he just had to be not utterly ineffectual. I do lament that if Corbyn can't even win over someone like me (disclaimer: I live in a safe seat, so my vote counts for nothing anyway), what chance could he possibly have with those who aren't already near enough aligned with his and/or Labour's politics.
Same here. I wanted Corbyn to give me a reason to come back, but Brexit killed it for me. But it's a waste of time asking the question because no Corbyn supporter has yet to give me an answer. It's literally easier for them to shout "Red Tories!" at anyone who voices dislike for Corbyn.
I'll give the Tories this though, they can get behind almost any fecking candidate come election time, no matter how insipid they are. It was that level of disunity that did for Heath and ultimately Major.
And this "We supported Blair so now you have to support Corbyn" is utter bollocks too. Supporting Blair got us into government. Supporting Corbyn wont. It's that fecking simple. It wont matter how united the party is because he's always contradicting and undermining his own front bench and policies.
Just wait. Wait and see how quickly he moves from a manifesto position. 1983 gave us the longest suicide note in history. Everybody's holding their breath to see if Jeremy will top that.
