Polling data has told us that labour disunity is way behind the leadership itself when it comes to understanding why people are turning away from labour.

Distinguishing between 'disunity' and 'leadership' as causes of something is not within the power of polls to do.

Your perception of party unity affects your perception of the leadership. Averaging over a poll sample won't clarify that.

A good leader can deliver party unity, or at least the appearance of it. A labour leader who cannot command the loyalty or respect of his MPs will never work.

Yeah. I'm actually surprised at how terribly the Lib Dems are doing, I expected them to at least pick up some Remain votes. I guess a second referendum that they'll inevitably lose isn't that big of a draw. Also when the only thing your party kindof stands for is social liberalism maybe don't have a Christian fundamentalist with regressive views as your leader.

It doesn't help that, like everything the Lib Dems do, they are being terribly wishy-washy over Article 50. I reckon they would have been able to keep more of the remain vote if they had made a full throated call for no Brexit & no second referendum and made much more explicit calls to European ideals (in a similar way to what Macron is doing), but the incessant liberal need to triangulate has led to Tim Farron saying poo poo like "i'm a bit of a Euroskeptic", as if that position is going to win over any voters at this stage.

I always admit when I'm wrong.

In fact I'm almost certain it was you that challenged me for an example of this not so long ago and I was able to provide one from earlier in the day.

If I'm wrong about the labour leadership and they manage to deliver a labour government I'll be the first to admit it. I want to be wrong about them.

Section 40 of the press regulation act even. The section that requires those publications that don't sign up to the press regulator would be liable to pay all legal fees for both sides in any legal action taken against them regardless of the out come.

Note, I'm not even opposed to this repeal, but it seriously is the carrot being dangled in front of the press to continue favourable and non critical coverage.

I'm not sure why papers have to pay legal costs if they win, seems like a bad idea to me, and I hate most papers

It's so that people aren't afraid to sue the papers because of legal costs, this is not that hard. You can google up the personal experiences of many people who got their lives ruined by tabloids, sued, and got a half-assed apology and not much else. Leaving the possibility of these people having to pay legal costs on top of that... gently caress that, man, sorry but it's not a bad idea.

Also, something that has happened in the States many many times and this law also prevents: "we can settle and we can pay your legal costs, or you can continue this process and keep paying your lawyers until you're broke... we can wait forever... you can't..."

Worth remembering that polling is not actually a direct reflection of popularity, it's trying to determine an election result based out on whether historical the demographic that like a party normally turn out to vote. How many people actually like Labour policies is very strong and while Corbyn often get a right panning when asked how good he is, he still ranks highly when compared to predecessors and contemporary alternatives.
