Labour Party Leadership Election

[Intell]

Corbyn (Actual Leftist)

[Blair]

Burnham, only one who I'd feel could actually lead us during an election and not feel embarrased about mentioning our leader when we door knock. Corbyn is just a wacko on foreign policy, and it would just be 2015 on crack

[Famous Mortimer]

Was originally very enthusiastic about Corbyn but disappointed to hear about his crazy terrorism apologia.

Would probably vote Burham, Cooper, Corbyn, Kendall.

I won't be too upset when Corbyn actually wins but I wouldn't want to personally contribute to it.

Whoever wins is going to be removed from office with horrifying brutality by Dan Jarvis at some point over the next five years so it isn't as though it matters anyway.

Kendall is who I voted in the poll, as we are the closest ideologically, but I'd put Burnham or Cooper, whoever has the best chance of stopping Corbyn, as my #2 in a IRV vote.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Burnham, the most logical choice to not have one of the two major parties led by a terrorist-supporting communist.

Quite a few people still apply that description to Nelson Mandela.

Burnham or Cooper may well be closer to you, actually.

I didn't know these sorts of shenanigans could happen in the modern Labour. I mean, I'd understand a midterm leadership challenge if Corbyn wins (potentially he could even end up resigning if sh*t hits the fan) but if Burnham or Cooper win, wouldn't most of the party eventually get behind him/her?

All I'm saying is that Jarvis dubbed his campaign to get selected for the Barnsley Central by-election a few years ago 'Operation Honeybadger'.

Nah Kendall made a show of opposing Palastinian recognition so might be closer to him.

You're right; as much as Brown and Miliband have tested Labour's patience,  I don't think we'd be seeing people argue this leader is merely a caretaker to be replaced if Corbyn didn't have a chance at winning.

I think Corbyn will have the grace to stand down if he's tanking - unless, of course, the party fight his proposals for internal democracy tooth and nail, in which case I think he'll have to be deposed by the PLP.
