The far left??? Who is the far left? Maybe in France they have the far left, but in the UK, Germany, Austria and most other countries the far left doesn't even stand for elections much.
So you discount the neo marxist under Corbyn do you. They are far left and they were the ones who bought political power with 12 year old girls.
Corbyn is a guy who has come up through a mostly center left party, and has somehow become the leader. What does that mean? It means the Far right don't have their own party that does anything, and some of them latch onto the Labour party.
Corbyn is a democratic socialist who was voted into his position after the party suffered two big election defeats.
The reason they lost those elections is because the party had drifted to the right in an attempt to appease the rabid right wing tory press. They had no policies and no principles.
The far right is unelectable in the UK as they are mainly low calibre skinheads,drunks,racist scumbags.
Phoneall lives in his own little world where he makes up things and hopes that some of it sticks. Basically like a britain first dickhead.
No, the reason they lost those elections was because A) Brown got taken in by the Tories saying "spin is bad" and he went without spin then everyone hated him and B) Ed Milliband was never going to win the raffle, let alone the election.
The unions voted for Ed when the party members and MPs voted for David, and Labour got Ed, and with David they could have won, with Ed they didn't stand a chance because they're TOO LEFT WING for the British people to elect.
Have to disagree. Their policies were tory lite and had alienated a large part of their core vote.Brown was also punished for the financial crisis with some justification. Agree about Milliband, he was hopeless but his brother was just another right wing blairite.
Scotland has been solid labour forever and they turned away because the SNP were pushing a socialist agenda. There was also the Labour treachery in siding with the tories in the devolution vote. Those 50 seats would have elected Miliband.
The problem being their "core support" had dwindled to a percentage not large enough to win them elections.
A lot of their "core support" are also people who are taken in by popular politics, like UKIP came out with, and Trump is doing in the US. Milliband was a bumbling buffoon, Blair was a smart guy who got everyone on board. Blair invaded Iraq and still got re-elected, Brown and Ed couldn't get elected if it was a choice between them and dying, people'd prefer to die.
In Scotland they turned to the SNP, when? When MILLIBAND, Mr Left Wing was in power. Give them a center-left maybe right guy like Blair and the Scots would go for it.
1992 with Kinnock. You know, the left wing dude.
2005, third time to re-elect Blair, he'd gone to war in Iraq, he got more seats in Scotland, more seats in Wales, more seats in England.
Then to Milliband. Mr left wing
Sorry, but he lost all of Scotland, half of Wales and half of England.
So, either side of Tony Blair, you have left wingers at the head of the party and they did really badly.
The left wing failed to get enough voters, not the left wingers, Milliband and Kinnock still took the really left wing places, like the Valleys and Northern English cities. It was the middle class voters they failed to get.
