If they get fair reporting from the media they might survive, but that's most unlikely. If the party unites behind them that would help, but that's also unlikely. The Tories will have to box clever because their tactics against Farage backfired significantly and made him more popular. My reading of that was that he seemed sincere and those attacking him didn't.
Corbyn, like all politicians, will be right about some things and wrong about others. What these people do have is honesty and integrity. We haven't seen much evidence of that in other politicians for a while, but will it be enough?
I honestly don't know, G Unit. You almost certainly have a greater understanding than I, of politics in general, which is how it must be looked at.
Didn't someone famously say that any Party in power for long enough would ultimately get it right? I remember thinking at the time that this was probably correct on an ideological level.
I do actually agree with some of Corbyn's policies, sad I am to admit it. But printing millions of pounds of extra money is crazy.
So The Left could have five years. Five years of future voters growing up, who have no knowledge of previous left wing disasters, and I doubt that many of them will have any understanding of economics. I don't have all that much myself beyond your average housewife balancing a budget, which hardly anyone worries about these days. Just pull out the credit card and pay the interest at the end of the month. Something that my generation wasn't prone to.
I saved really seriously in my years of working here often foregoing luxuries, in the mistaken belief that the interest would help my State Pension, even if only by 10 or 15 Pounds a week. And we all know how that turned out.
No, I'm not really complaining because I manage okay. I have always been borderline broke, having put three children through Boarding School because The State System was so awful. But it all comes down to me in the end. What could Jeremy Corbyn do for me?
