Realistically, 'the right photogenic leader ' may not even be enough. The EU migrant panic has reached critical levels, and brexit is living proof of that. UKIP is dead, but it's acted as a gateway drug for pouring more people into the tories, purely on the basis of migrants.

That damages Labour and the long term prospects of its recovery. I don't think a Blairite is going to save it either. You could easy be looking at another decade of tories.

Interesting times.

labour might have done better with someone else as leader but they're still getting hosed because the tories are really popular since brexit killed UKIP and brexit is really popular.

That and labour MP's are on the whole a load of poo poo and trying to name one who would be a good replacement goes nowhere

Ya it reeks of that one neat trick to beat your political enemies aka realm of political delusion, which rudatron sorta touched on. Just have fun while on the political tailspin imo, aka keep electing corbyn so centrist tear their hair out. It is hella entertaining.

there it seems like the dems are the sensible party and the gop are the wacko one while here it's the opposite and you have labour people saying that mao was good or that the financial crisis was also good because of accelerationism

after gordon brown and ed milliband the membership looked at each other and thought, hey you know what would be nice, let's have a leader this time that isn't just a bunch of soundbites arranged in a suit and occasionally advocates actual policies, I'm sure that under blair's smooth guiding hand with a view to the future and with the labour party's true dedication to the left wing there will be many such candidates we can choose from right

and lo, there was naught but beardy jam man

this election is maybe not actually at a bad time for labour because the tories were certainly winning an election in 2020 because brexit wouldn't really have hosed everyone quite so badly but it will before the next general election now
