Jeremy Corbyn-Leadership quality?

Unfortunately the fact remains he was a massive reason why Labour got tanked at the last election. Him getting a position in any shadow cabinet would be a massive own goal and would be confirmation that the left wing of Labours politics has not gone away.

so a man who is best friends with terrorists who helped to kill servicemen in both the USA and the UK we are to vote for him, irrespective of his personality.

He and his 1970’s policies give the UK voters no alternative to the rammel that is BoJo.

Perhaps he could be given special projects to chair instead of shadowing a department. I would suggest he starts with a working group to explore the possibility that fruit have feelings and so should eating your 5 a day be a crime?

Or perhaps if the next Labour leader has a proper sense of humour, he could be appointed shadow secretary of state for Northern Ireland...

If JC is so bad, why doesn't the party replace him with somebody good like our Nancy Pelosi?
Does Labour like to lose?
If must be complicated to have a parliamentary legislator stand for PM instead of having a separate executive branch.
But having a separate executive branch didn't prevent us from going to hell, so who knows the right answer?

Yes, if somebody is that bad, as is Trump for example, then in that case, I guess you have to consider personality.
I normally don't. I vote for the policy position, not the person, because the very best person isn't as decent as a good dog.

If you want to lose a couple of days of your life, google Jeremy Corbyn. There are Labour supporters that love him and would carry his babies. Others like a majority of the floating voters at the last election think he is just unelectable. Him as leader of the Labour led that party through years of wilderness. Don’t get me wrong, the Tories and Bojo to some are purgator. Ut Labour and Jezza are just not electable.

No one has talked about this has been since the last decade on here. And yet this bad penny of a politician just cannot let go. It’s not a political quotation but on behalf of the British public, please do one and get lost.

Him and McDonald have been pulling Long-Baileys strings for a long time and along with the rest of Momentum are unlikely to let her a free rein.
 
I voted for Senator Bernie Sanders in my state's Democratic Primary election, just as I did four years ago.
I will vote for whomever the Democrats nominate to run against Trump, of course, but in my state's primary, I get to vote for the person that I really want.

Yet, America is a socially regressive nation. We are the only developed nation without socialized medicine. We had human slaves as recently as the 1860s.
Many Democrats don't belive that a progressive candidate like Senator Sanders can beat the cretin Trump, so even if they like his views, they want a more conservative Democrat to run against Trump.

My opinion is that if the American electorate chooses Trump again over anybody, the republic is dead anyway--and deserves to be.

Absolute garbage!
 
The sad part is that your Tories are well to the left of our Democrats.
Our Republicans are to the right of Ghengus Kan.
I think Brits would embrace Corbyn if Trump were the alternative, but perhaps not. You do play at the troglodyte's Aberdeen golf course.
If a member of my family played there or on any of his courses, I'd quite literally disown him/her.
My hatred of Trump has no limits.
 
You stated “Him as leader of the Labour led that party through years of wilderness.”
He became Leader in Sept 2015.

Couple of facts from 2017 GE:

Labour made a net gain of 30 seats with 40.0% (its highest vote share since 2001 and the first time the party had gained seats since 1997). This was the closest result between the two major parties since Feb 74.

He increased Labour's share of the vote by more than any other of the party's election leaders since 1945.

Labour's proportion of the vote grew 9.6 per cent in the 2017 GE — the biggest swing since Clement Attlee shortly after the Second World War.

So going on the above, please explain the “years of wilderness”

I’d totally agree 2019 was a disaster, but seeing how he’d only been leader for 4 years and after the 2017 result possibly had the right to be optimistic, I’m at a loss to understand the years of wilderness.

I’m sure you can blame TM, but one further thing to consider:
TM increased her vote to 13,636,684 votes an increase of 5.5% on 2015

In Dec boris got 13,966,451 votes only a 1.2% increase on 2017.

A difference of 329,767 and you claimed it was the floating voters that found Corbyn unelectable, you could also use that statement to say boris was less popular than TM with tory voters.
