He never hid in fridges when the world was lying about him and he never dodged Andrew Neil.
Give me another British politician leading a party with his record and policies and I will happily vote for them again, but labour are now in a destructive phase and will take a few years to get themselves back together imo, and reintroducing Mandelson just highlights how devoid of ideas and decency the party is.
That said, if labour enter a non-tory political coalition with PR front and centre, I would support the party through that election cycle again, but until then, I'll be a greenie for the foreseeable.

Nothing much wrong with the Greens Slim.
However this is why PR is needed too to get proper representation of them in parliament..
I really hope Labour take the bull by the horns on PR and make it policy.
That will ensure in my view now better government and more representative government too.
I agree with your post.
I never myself believed Corbyn was a bad person.
As you say a few more seats down for the Cons and a few more for Labour in 2017, would have had the Cons out.
His policies then, much like 2019 would have re shaped the UK.
With support of the SNP and Plaid Cymru and the Green too.
He did connect, the media got the shock of their lives, I agree then went into even more overdrive against him.
The anti-Semite rubbish ridiculous.
The massive inquiry didn't find him anti Semitic.
That bile is what is grossly offensive.
Equally, Like you I groaned at Mandelson being wheeled out again too.
I wouldn't have been Labour in the Blair years.
I actually rated Brown more than Blair.
