Could Jeremy Corbyn win a General Election?

[Vega]

Ought to be interesting to see the results on this one...

[Antonio the Sixth]

Almost anybody can win an election, under the right circumstances.

[Zioneer]

Could he? Yes. Will he win the next election? Probably not.

Almost anybody can win an election, under the right circumstances.

Sure, but the criteria under which Corbyn could do it would be rather narrow.

[Blair]

See the 2015 UK election. Then times it by 100

You mean Labour would win 23,200 seats in the House of Commons?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Almost anybody can win an election, under the right circumstances.

Yes. Even Michael Foot could've defeated Thatcher in 1983 under the right circumstances (Labour was leading before the Falklands and SDP breakaway).

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Antonio is correct, but voted no.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

The only way he could do it is to essentially promise Scotland a new referendum, and even that would make it a long shot given that Labor + SNP might not be enough. Thank God.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Theoretically, yes. Anyone who leads the Labour Party would have a technical chance of winning a GE. But obviously Corbyn's hard left positioning and (most importantly perhaps) significant baggage would would mean that the circumstances would have to be ideal. Stranger things have happened.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Probably not, and if he losses the next general election, he'll likely be canned. But hey, stranger things have happened.

I would say No, but seeing as my original prediction of him becoming leader was less than 1%, you can take my predictions on my own country's politics with a grain of salt.
