18. Corbyn is only just starting to come to terms with what being a leader is.

I'm not overjoyed with his performance so far. However, I think these individuals are only a tiny proportion of the new influx. Most were decent people turned off by Blair's love affair with Bush.

Despite not voting for Corbyn, (I voted for Burnham,) I do think he's a decent enough bloke, and smart enough to realise that what may be good for him is not necessarily good for the party.

In the end it boils down to results. Each election is a test and if any of them aren't positive he'll be on notice. I understand that if May's council elections don't go well there'll be a rebellion, although they might wait until after the referendum to get the knives out.

Man the Labour Party is really getting into a lot of trouble these days. liberalnarb Mar 2016 #1
