That said I don't think the other three candidates are up to that much either really and none of them are having much of an impact. Matthew Norman made a good point yesterday I think when he said:



I cannot believe that Labour would ever win an election under Corbyn. If he does win the leadership contest - and I can't believe he'd win that either - then I think most Labour MPs really will be hoping that they can get rid of him within a couple of years and have a new face in before 2020.

I agree with most you say but there will be a whole new generation of voters from 2010 in 2010 who to them Corbyn could be the only one with a different message.
Anything different could easily attract if things go badly as to what I outlined before.

As I said, Corbyn is not my choice and I don't think he will win either,even if he was just ahead the 2nd preference votes will deny him that.

In politics however,the oddest things happen and 5 years is an eternity in politics.
