I'm sure some think that Corbyn is capable of making a national, socialist party. |

Define failure?
it's not about winning anything, i would assume. There are people in this country on the left that have no one to vote for anymore, except maybe the greens. Labour and the tories are offering the exact same policies these days, so offering people something different can never be classed as a failurre. We keep offering, and if it takes 50 years after we're all dead to go somewhere, then that's fine too, but what is a failure, is the right wing and neoliberal destruction of the country. Besides which, if there is a fear of a split vote, then it pressures the right wing labour party to move a little closer to it's base.

The tories have been dragged further right by parties like Ukip and reform/reclaim, which in turn has dragged the labour party further to the right. Attempting to redress the balance is not a negative thing.

corbyn couldn't win a vote when he was at the height of his popularity, he won't affect the labour party as it is now

He also came within 2500 votes of winning in 17, and won the most votes as a labour leader than anyone other than Blairs first election. All this, with his own party openly working against him. No one cries this much about farage or fox/Tice. Offering the voters something different is not a bad thing, when every other party is offering the exact same things.

So in short, while I don't think redressing the balance is bad, I'm not convinced that it's good either. |

if Corbyn does start a party, it will definitely be the most environmentally aware out of every party in the UK, especially as labour have now withdrawn their environmental commitments.

Corbyn needs to Decide
At this time he is Not a Labour MP He must stand as an Independent This Year we have the General Election I am sure he can win his own seat. And Starmer needs to find one of his MP's to Fight Corbyn. |

If he started a party that got some traction, it would be quite interesting. However, i don't think it would affect the current labour party for a year or 2 at the earliest. If corbyns party did well enough to let the tories back in, i think the labour party would implode. Another 4 or 5 years without a labour government would be a huge deal

He is predicted to win his seat
as an independent. Starting a Political Party is expensive. OK for rich fellas like Richard Tice. |

The Labour Party would need a record swing in votes at the next general election to win a majority in the House of Commons, according to analysis of the new electoral map.
The next election will be fought on new constituency boundaries, redrawn to reflect population changes and to try to even out voter numbers in each area. An analysis of these changes for BBC News, ITV News, Sky News and the Press Association suggests Labour needs a national swing of 12.7% to win with just a small majority. That's considerably higher than the 10.2% achieved by Tony Blair in 1997 and higher even than the 12% achieved by Clement Attlee in 1945. The swing from the Conservatives to Labour would need to be uniform, to follow the same pattern everywhere, with other parties seeing no change in performance since 2019. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67361138 |

It won't just need people to not want the Tories, it'd need them to want (with a capital W) Labour.
Despite current projections, I wouldn't be surprised if a load of other party/spoils/no-shows allows the Tories to squeak back in. Unless the Tories REALLY eff things up, or unless Labour REALLY inpresses people. |

it could have a positive effect and really mobilise the labour vote, but lets be honest the best likely outcome for labour is a minority government
