So?

If their rules allow that what's the problem?

But in the case of labour, lib dems and tories it would not be possible. That's why swinson had to resign immediately

Except in the case of the Green Party you'd have to have Caroline Lucas doing every single one of those roles, which isn't an issue Labour has or will ever have to face (see: Jo Swinson immediately resigning upon losing her seat, rather than staying on for a decade in the hope that she might somehow fall arse backwards into 10 Downing Street)

...to be fair, Zizu...I would say that Marsh does ‘get it’...but getting it, doesn’t make it any less disrespectful, undermining or sexist to post females, based on how physically attractive you think they are...

I thought it was called having a sense of humour ?!

Have the rules changed now ??

I haven’t commented on their ‘political’ capabilities..

You think Tony Blair was fabulously popular solely because of his policies ?

...absolutely it’s your prerogative to have a sense of humour, Zizu...and to use it whenever and wherever you wish...but that ‘sense of humour’ is always going to be subjective...and when its content is sexist/undermining...its accepting that it’s going to be open to criticism also...

I guess when it comes to who the next leader should be, they'd need to decide if people don't like Corbyn himself, or "Corbynomics". I

I'm gonna guess it's a bit of both, they should go for someone more along the lines of Blair (without the foreign policies, of course)

Because that's what's important isn't it her dress sense?!!! .

Screw the policies and what the party stands for ,let's focus on their looks, voice & fashion instead.

Boris Johnson could literally walk the streets covered in poo and people would still smile & vote for him , there's no hope .

Please don’t despair ...

I was just trying to lighten up the situation but it seems to have done the opposite..

I shall do what Corbyn was to cowardly to do ...

I resign with immediate effect

One of the problems Labour have got now, is that when you look at the electoral map, they won almost nothing outside of the English cities apart from South Wales. So they are picking their leader (and the MPs that have to support the leader) from people who will not necessarily be in touch with the views of people outside the metropolitan bubbles.

I couldn't give a name - someone like Caroline Flint analysed the reasons for the election result properly - but she lost her seat.

The two main reasons for the Labour result:
  • The mistake of the 2nd EU Referendum policy (and the perception of Labour blocking Brexit) which alienated the working-class leave vote.
  • Corbyn and Labour being too left-wing which put off the middle class vote.
So someone from the centre ground - not a Corbyn protege - that acknowledges the mistake on Brexit policy. Blair was hated by people on the left but he understood how the country changed during the 80s. He is the only Labour leader to actually win a general election since Harold Wilson.

The third thing for me is that Labour needs a leader that is credible in Scotland, and will take back votes off the SNP, because Corbyn was a disaster up here.

If Labour want to try and regain the leave vote in the next election, they need someone at the helm who was willing to respect the leave result, they won’t win if they throw a remainder to the top, that’s why I think Angela would be the perfect choice, she voted to remain, however she was willing to fight for the leave vote because that’s what her constituency wanted, they’ll never win if they don’t recognise the reasons they’ve lost the north and leave voters

One of Corbyn's problems was that he doesn't know the working class outside of London as much as he thinks he does. The same goes for Emily Thornberry, her repellent manner is partly from being in the Sneering London Liberal Elite.

It honestly doesn't matter. Nothing will stop the Tory cult now. We are an unofficial one party state.
