Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Bit surprised you think that balances things out, personally I don't like what he did there or his views on terrorist types in general if they're actually as being reported but then I don't like someone attempting to make political capital out of remembrance day and then not even taking the time to even speak to the actual veterans either.

Are they the same polls that got the last election so wrong? Are they the same ones that has Farage showing worse than corbyn and the less said about tim who the better

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

:D

It's apt that Corbyn's popularity rating seems all too reminiscent of so many Labour leaders. It also bears a striking resemblance to what the UK's economy would do with more Labour clowns running the show. It won't bother the usual suspects though, they're well used to deluding themselves.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Well they're also the same polls that got the Labour leadership election right.

I think the Corbyn supporters are clutching at straws if they are assuming the polls are all wrong. It's not as if there is much about Corbyn's leadership so far that we can look at and assume will do well with the electorate. I don't get where they think this hidden support is going to come from. Not to mention it's historically the Tories, not Labour, who've been underrepresented in opinion polling.

Straws are all they have.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Polls this early mean very little unless the media's incessant non stories and blatant lies are finally starting to resonate, I mean it was only a couple of months back corbyn was pretty close

Oh and for the record I'm not a corbyn supporter, yet, I just like sticking up for him at the moment because there's so much rubbish written about him, wonder if it's got anything to do with him threatening to break up the press barons

Exactly who is Osem aiming to insult here? Kevin Spacey maybe ;)

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Just remember Richard they are doing it for the betterment of the country as we are all in this together...

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Actually, they are doing it to standardise the numbers of voters in each constituency....

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Do you think they would be doing it if they were losing the MPs? Honest answers please ..

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Seems reasonable to me.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

They're losing 14...

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

The Tories don't need to fix the size and nature of constituencies to suit them. Labour wiped themselves out in Scotland and there's no sign of Corbyn's cronies doing any better.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

but from the same article:

Not good for democracy in this country ..

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

I answered the question you asked - would they be doing this if they were losing MPs, and they are losing MPs.
So it's bad for democracy that constituencies should be roughly the same size?

Perhaps it would help democracy if the students and others registered to vote...
