O/T - general election 2019

If they asked that question, a lot of people would reply 'Jeremy Corbyn', but they were blocked by the wider Labour membership when they tried to do something about that.

Maybe Corbyn will go if Labour fail to win, but he will probably be replaced by a member of Momentum's clone army, which will still leave the party out in the cold.

Only done one session in Chingford so far and yep a few are not getting beyond the Corbyn name but more than that are angry that he isn’t supporting Remain, or that he didn’t support the referendum earlier. I would imagine that voters in Rotherham are saying the opposite!

I think Corbyn will go, and the best time for that would have been 12 months ago. But I disagree that the replacement will be a Momentum replicant! Most labour members who will vote, certainly those who I know (which is quite a lot) are quite happy for a more moderate candidate such as Starmer or Philips if they keep the broad thrust of a genuinely transformational manifesto, although I fear they have over reached on this occasion. A more moderate leader, if than can be a unifier, can take it back a little, but also with added plus of having less historical baggage and being more of a likable figurehead.

That said, I fear that whoever comes forward, even moderate will, come next election, will receive the ‘Red Ed’ treatment and we will start the usual dance again. Out of interest, was Red Ed too Red for you in 2015?

(You still haven't said what you think is best to be done in order to raise more money for improved services and social care. How would you go about it personally?)
