He's not Marxist and his policies are actually polling majority support, he's the victim of his own party centrists rat loving him. Its character assassination, pain and simple.

Being a beardy sandal-wearing leftist with no charisma isn't exactly conducive to popular support.

Baloogan posted:if he wanted to help labor he would have stepped down during the coup He should have stepped down when David Cameron did, immediately after the brexit referendum went the way it did. As leaders, he and Cameron both had a responsibility to guide their people away from that decision, and failing to do it meant they had both failed as leaders. The coup/leadership challenge was a response to him not doing the right thing.

Bulgogi Hoagie posted:david cameron wanted to be in the EU more than corbyn Corbyn's heart not being in it was no excuse. He was leader of the labour party, when he accepted the role he accepted serious responsibilities. Losing the referendum and clinging on to power was untenable, but he did it anyway and now the labour party is where it is. The corbynista / green party / far left types who went mad for corbyn believed, perhaps rightly, that this was their One Big Shot, and couldn't accept that the events of the brexit, something they didn't mean to stake their future on, would put a premature end to it all. I think many ended up with the delusion that simply clinging onto power in the party was enough, that eventually labour would 'get its turn' and then, by virtue of having dug in deeply and clung on strongly enough, they would get to be in power by default. Others had convinced themselves that Ed Miliband and Gordon Brown had lost because centrism was unpopular, and leftism was secretly what people really wanted. This argument will be demolished if Corbyn does worse than miliband did two years ago. I bet they'll find some other excuse though. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. But it looks like the labour party is going to be hoofing it for a while. hakimashou has issued a correction as of 03:23 on May 6, 2017 |

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Being a suit wearing half-Tory wasn't either. Indeed. Ideally, in a nation of 65 million, the major left-of-center party could find a leftist or center-leftist to put forward as leader with some capacity to actually lead, though as an American I have no room to criticize.

That's a pretty dumb assumption, considering 2/3 have already lead their parties into ruin. The bottom line here is that England, like the rest of Europe, is in the throes of a reactionary wave - and it's going to take a ton of loving up by a Tory government before enough of them stop believing in "common sense" and vote for anything else.
