Thank god the poll had the option of "other" or I would have felt that it would have been another poll with a closed agenda like the "We must bomb Iran" one.
It does not matter who the leader is unless the Labour party changes to represents the interests of the people.
All 3 political parties are puppets for the New World Order and have policies which serve the establishment.
Yes I sound like a cracked record but it's true.
As we've seen with a more politicians get disillusioned and walk away from the main political parties.
I'm just suprised they didn't figure it out before they joined the partys.
Though to be fair they would not have any light on them until they became prominent politicians.

Yawn. Such hyperbole helps no one. He does not believe in completely abolishing any kind of propert and distributing according to need therefore he is not a communist. He is simply a ******.

Personally I'd want someone who took labour back to the old labour mould. Particularly someone in the style of R.H. Tawney. A nice guild socialist/ syndicalist type.

Some members of DC are wondering what direction will Labour take if it loses the next general election. Will it continue the NuLab game? Will it revert back to old Labour economic policies? Will it become hijacked by ethnics or Islamics? Will it sit in the political wilderness until another Blair type figure comes along complete with shallow spin 15 years later? Will it endure a near death like experience similar to the Liberal party between 1918 and the 1950s?

Bipartisan Britain will continue as it has done for decades now. The Tories will have two or three periods in power and then it will be Labour's turn. You can't seriously be suggesting that anything other than one-or-the-other fluctuation is going to keep on happening? The biggest event in our near future is going to be whether the UK stays united. There is no chance that Labour are going to be "hijacked", "sit in the wilderness" or or "endure a near death experience". History has made that clear.

Members of DC do not like spending too much time looking in the rear view mirror. However, one thing we have seen in the rear view mirror is that historically it has been more difficult to unseat a Tory government than a Labour government. The Tories have managed much longer periods of time in office on average than Labour prior to 1997. If Labour incurs a heavy defeat (Tory majority over 70) then they are unlikely to return for over 10 years - if at all. The question is what will happen to Labour. Remember that NuLab couldn't be predicted in 1979. Even a small majority (around 30ish) for the Tories at the next election doesn't mean Labour won't be crushed or transformed beyond recognition in the future. Remember 1983. It could happen again at the next but one general election.
