I would never expect UKIP to win a landslide victory in an election, and it is unlikely that they will have another MP elected, but if they split the Labour vote to the point where Labour simply cannot win an election, and if this forces Labour to go back to its roots, namely to represent the working-class people who are ever-more priced out of work by cheap eastern European labour, then UKIP can only be considered to be a success. I would write to Jeremy Corbyn and explain this to him, but I just know that as a member of the Islington Set, he simply wouldn't listen. But that isn't what will happen. We get the path of least resistance - that's to say most of society that shouldn't be allowed to vote - you know, Jeremy Kyle viewers, EastEnders fans etc will just think 'look at that bunch of oddballs, I'm not voting for them' add a bit of personal agenda from the press and your on a hiding to nothing. Which ultimately means the Tories get an unopposed run for God knows how long Bleak isn't it? Well, Labour always have the option of returning to the idea of representing working-class people like myself, and if they did then I'm sure their share of the vote would increase. To be honest, I think they will eventually realise that this is their only chance of survival, but it looks like they will have to continue sleepwalking towards the 2020 election before they get the message. What on earth they are thinking of retaining Jeremy Corbyn as leader is completely beyond me.

But, as I said earlier, we need someone like John Smith to galvanise and regroup the party and it's membership - any suggestions as to who could pull that off? Let alone take the party to success at the polling stations....

Let's be honest. We've had nu labour and look where that got us.
Gotta get rid of jezza and totally overhaul them selves and their party before they can even think about taking power.

But they've put themselves between a rock and a hard place.
They're still slapping themselves on the back celebrating the people power wave that Corbyn rode to leadership victory, without, apparently seeing that nationally he is unelectable.
How do you get out of that.
