Hopefully Blenkinsop loses out in boundary changes & Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald (current Shadow Sec.State of Transport) becomes Pissflap's new MP to save him from that tough dilemma.

We already had that where most of the Labour party were talking about how we needed to accept austerity as what the public wants and then Lich King Iain Duncan Smith pretended to have a soul and openly criticised the effect it was having on the poor and disabled.

I thought any labour government was always better than a tory one.

I mean, I remember being told my entirely voting life that it was my duty to hold my nose and vote for people pushing repugnant poo poo because at least they're not the even worse team, so a little solidarity here doesn't seem much to ask.

Pissflaps posted:

My view has been that Corbyn actually needs a chance to try. Most people I know seem to agree (people who aren't completely disengaged at least). Personally I feel like Corbyn would leave if he lost, but if Corbyn does disastrously in a general, that is an actual general in 2020 that doesn't feature the entire party clamouring for people to vote them out to really stick it to the trots, then I would be unlikely to vote for him again providing the Labour party offered an actual alternative rather than Dickjoke mcISIScakes

I mean this is basically a major problem with the "Corbyn's been a disaster" thing. Corbyn's been a disaster with the labour party openly trying to tear itself apart. It's impossible to tell if he's messed up or not, because there has been a very visible contingent of people, who I will be charitable and assume are a minority, who have gleefully campaigned against him before he even took office. You can't even claim "If he was a good leader then he would have avoided the people campaigning against him", because people have been doing so before he even got a chance to do anything. There is, blatantly and inarguably, a component of the Labour party that simply hate him and what he stands for, so an assessment of his capability is always trying to solve for two unknowns. They have shot themselves in the foot if they're right, and again there's nobody to blame but the labour conservatives for that.

I currently intend to not vote at all. I care about Labour forming a government at the next general election, and the ones that come after it.

The sad array of green and lib dem voters that have joined the party recently do not care about Labour forming a government. That's why I want Corbyn replaced with somebody competent, and they want him to remain in post.

The fact that Corbyn's appointment has led to this is one aspect of why he is a disaster.

Saying that people campaigned against him since before he took office is asinine. He was involved in a leadership contest of course they did.

Based on Corbyn's track record of personal mandates trumping parliamentary democracy i'm not sure how you conclude that such reasoning is silly.
