Not really. One man and one woman, makes sense to represent both halves of members and electorate.

I don't see the relevance of thst question.
Since 2005 only Cameron has done a full 5 year term anyway as PM.

Post war.
Churchill, Eden, Douglas-Home,Heath, Callaghan, Brown, and May all didn't or couldn't complete 5 year terms.

Only, Attlee, McMillan, Wilson,Thatcher and Blair and Cameron did.

Don't be ridiculous. They will start making the wealthy and corporations pay their share. Multi-billion corporations like amazon and starbucks have been paying an effect rate of 0% for years.

YouGov’s poll of over 1,100 members shows how out of touch with Labour voters the middle-class lefties really are:

79% want to control who runs newspapers

69% think it would be legitimate for unions to stage a general strike to bring down a Tory government;

TWO THIRDS believe the party doesn’t have a problem with anti-Semitism, OVER HALF believe the crisis is the fault of the media or Corbyn’s opponents;

Members would rather do a post-Brexit trade deal with Russia than Israel!

Astounding difference with popular opinion shows how out of touch with the working classes Labour is nowadays:

TWO-THIRDS are ashamed of Britain’s history;
MORE blame the British Government and Army for the Troubles in Northern Ireland than say it was the fault of the IRA;

MORE THAN HALF would feel bored, embarrassed or angry about singing the National Anthem – only 10% would be happy to sing “God Save the Queen”

SIX in ten want to abolish the royals for a republic;

Yes.
Two thirds of Con MEMBERS.
Said recession was a price worth paying to leave with no deal.

That the break up of Great Britain and the UK by losing Scotland was a price worth paying.

Plus, the support for no deal which could massively impact on Northern Ireland with danger to the good Friday agreement.

The Cons have 150,000+ members.
Two thirds of whom expressed the view of not bothered at the end of the UK.

The Labour party has over 500,000 members..
This poll asked 1100 of them, yes 1100.
This will be gospel however.

Whereas the other lot can be admired for being as extreme as they wish.

It's not they hate it, it's they feel the public don't grasp it and aren't listening.

I understand it and am happy to support it.

However, the voters matter and a position needs to be taken unfortunately.

I am happy to leave with a deal with a customs arrangement and Northern Ireland protected too as to the good Friday agreement.

Or

I'm happy to remain.

Either which the voters chose on those I'm happy with, as Corbyn would be.
So I have the same position as him.

The party though, overall wants us to be a remain party now.
That's the issue.

Point Of Order : Live Parliament Ch. Labour Party Conference
One Lady just got on Stage said having the Union to Vote as well
has corrupted the voting.
She then said the rest of us the CPL's may as well go down the Pub.


The Trade Unions are controlling all the Votes.

Diane Abbott gets up on stage and says she thinks they'll win a General election and tells Boris to "bring it on." A week after they bottled having an election offered to them by Boris. These people have absolutely no shame or sense of honour.

After 2017 not myself or anyone in Labour fear an election.

It's not bottling anything with a PM that is neither worthy of trust, nor can or should be trusted to not manipulate an election to satisfy the rabid hard-line extremists in his party, and some of the more extreme leave voters, to have the whole UK hurtling to a no deal brexit.

Labour, all the Nationalist parties except the DUP, the Lib Dems, Greens and Independents.
ALL want, the no deal deadline passed of October 31st then secured to not happen.

Then IF he still doesn't himself fear an election from his own Con party's own private polling, he will get one.
Once the October 31st deadline has passed.

I wouldn't get so cocky this election will be any better for him than 2017 was for Mrs May.

I don't expect an overall majority for either Cons or Labour.
What he could find is a much stronger Lib Dem representation after the election.
.
Be careful what you wish for.
Mrs May thought she'd just stroll in 2 years ago.
Johnson can't hide away in an election campaign like he did in the Con leadership election.

If you believe polling, that's your affair..
They've had nothing right for 3 elections and for years now.
