He's answered this before. He thinks that any result where the Conservatives are still in government means Corbyn should resign. even if Labour get a bigger share of the vote than they got in 2005.

I've never seen Pissflaps directly confirm/deny that he sees a Conservative win but an increase in Labour seats as something that should result in Corbyn's resignation - I want to hear it from the horse's mouth. (Also, vote share is irrelevant tbh).

Genuine question for you: If Labour gains seats, but the result is still a Conservative majority (or a hung Parliament that results in a Tory minority/coalition) - do you still think that Corbyn should resign?

That's not going to happen but, yes.

The bottom seems to have really fallen out of May's personal popularity. You didn't have to watch the debate or even read any analysis of it to get the main story: the woman who spent all campaign calling herself strong chickened out of it. I imagine there's still some more Labour swing due on that.

It's highly unlikely, but at this stage I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility.

Why do you think he should resign in that scenario, if he has increased the number of seats for Labour since 2015 and 2010 under Milliband?

I know you won't be drawn on "who should replace him" - but do you want to see Labour drawn back towards the more centrist ideology such as that under Milliband and before, or stay within Corbyn's broad ideology but under different leadership?

I think it's big among the politically aware, but there are still masses of inertia of people less engaged. Tons of people vote without really being interested in the political process.

Because he will have failed to deliver a labour government.

Edit: didn't see the second part, Corbyn's manifesto is a lot more centrist than I expected. Somebody more capable with less baggage could do better with it.

quote:

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has failed to combat anti-Jewish discrimination, according to a senior figure in the party.

The chairman of the Jewish Labour movement, Jeremy Newmark, would not say whether Labour's track record on dealing with anti-Semitism would cost the party a significant number of votes at the general election. But he does see it as a cause for concern.

"Jeremy Corbyn appears to have failed to understand the nature of contemporary anti-Semitism in the same way that it's understood by most of its target group," he said.

Labour MP Wes Streeting - a frequent critic of Mr Corbyn's leadership - has also criticised the party's record on the issue.

"I don't think many Jewish voters in my constituency have been very impressed with the way the Labour party as a whole have responded," said Mr Streeting.

Mr Corbyn has previously said the party does not tolerate anti-Semitism in any way.

Hah, yeah appreciate how that read. I was thinking more along the lines of the fact that there's a long and justified association of establishment politicians to institutional racism and some of the more unconventional elements of Corbyn's way of doing things has helped counteract that

But yes I appreciate that I might as well have gone "lol hippity hoppors" for how I phrased that
