Why does anyone trust a thing out of this mans mouth?

I have on good authority that he is open to PR but NOT at this time.
That makes little sense to me admittedky.
His last statement on it when asked was, it's not a right policy for this coming election.

I think and hope, that PR along with other things he KNOWS full well are popular.
If he wins this time, that they'll BE policy for the election after.

He will be in massive difficulty if he fails to adopt them.
That's for sure.

He's pissed away his tory incompetence lead, so we both know PR is never going to raise it's head. I don't know why you keep putting yourself through this, Joey. I understand the need to vote for him to get tories out, but i don't understand the need to keep pretending he's something he isn't.

Because I believe perseverance can win through in the end.
I don't give up on things easily either

I've never really liked any recent Labour leader anyhow.
Or Con one.

I think you're wrong as to PR with respect.
It has now been passed twice at conference.
Very heavily last year too.
My thinking is, Labour will now adopt PR.
Not at the next election as policy.
However I do think it's coming and it can ONLY come via Labour because the Cons will never support it.
That's one of my main aims to fight for in the Party.

Wish I could trade some of my cynicism for your idealism, and as always, hope you're right.
