Seeing as we have an "American Politics" thread on here, I (an American who tries to keep up with foreign events) figured we should have one for politics across the pond. This stems from both an interest in politics as well as a desire to learn about the British political system, as I believe both countries (America's Republic and Britain's Constitutional Monarchy) could be able to learn from one another.

In short he cheated. He went to the High Court to have all the "new" members of the Labour Party given permission to vote. Under the original system they would have to had been a paid up member for a minimum of 12 months. Under his appealed system you pay subscription for entry to the party and gain the vote.
It's ok though. The man has as much charisma as dung heap. He'll not win anything.

I guess that was his only way to win.

Then went to Court to have the party rules changed so his new (gullible) followers could vote for him in the Leadership election.

Because he's the king of manipulation and getting others to do his dirty work.

If Labour MP's want to keep their dignity then they'd follow through with not working under him in the shadow cabinet. Corbyn is the lowest of the low when it comes to MP's, and that's lower than the bloke who claimed to get his moat cleaned. I would only piss on Corbyn if he was on fire if I pissed petrol!

Corbin is basically a shill for his communist allies. He has no control, It isn't him pulling the strings. He's just a mouth piece at this point.

The reality is working men and women do not have the time and money to afford to dabble around in politics. The idea of a working man/woman in political power is only really possible through unsavoury methods(Glorious revolution comrades).

What is the deal with London's new Mayor Sadiq Khan. I was a little alarmed about his comments during his visit to New York last week regarding terrorist attacks in large metropolitan as being part of the new normal in societies willing to accept open/liberal immigration. why do any terrorist attacks have to be accepted? His exact comment was that terror attacks are "part and parcel of life in a big city".

I think that's what he meant to say, but I listened to his news conference and the context in which he said it was related to the Afghani that set off the bombs in NY, and that it was "just a fact of life" if we're to allow more immigration.

Another funny thing about Sadiq Khan; Donald Trump tried to offer him an "exception", as it were, to his no-Muslims immigration policy. He told him to piss off.

Corbyn is a bit like Trump polarises people both for and against him but without the Charisma, without any Public Speaking Ability and without any bollocks.
On one thing he is Trumps polar opposite. He's a member of CND and believes the UK doesnt need an army and that we can deal with morons like Daesh and Syria at the Negotiating Table.

He's a skittle that's why. he doesn't care so long as the skittles take over. he probably supports Sharia courts too.

In fairness Owen Smith thinks that we can negotiate with Daesh as well, but he's still a far sight better than Corbyn. But to be truthful, Labour looks pretty fucked right now. It's gonna take them a long time to come back.
