Published

on



Discord: https://discord.gg/BMrk6MC

With Corbyn set to stand down as Leader of the Opposition in the coming months, we’ve begun to see the race to replace him unfold. In this video, we take a look at the process Labour use to select their leaders, and will explain how the new leader will be chosen. We also take a look at some of the leading candidates to see who might be taking on the role.

    As an American, I find it cool how you guys name your constituencies. Here, we don’t do that for House districts (closest thing to constituencies for us), just using the state name and the number of the district

    Just a little point here – Labour's election defeat was in December 2019, NOT January 2020…

    Really cool that 2/3 top candidates are women.

    I personally think the guy is more up my alley, but that is just my view.

    Of the top 3 Long-Bailey would be my pick for leadership. Not only does she have the backing of the Corbyn left but she is aware that the alienation of leave voters is the cause of the party defeat. The other two seem to be wanting to make the party full on remain despite it being clear that is not what the majority want

    When Labour tries to stay true to their core Labour beliefs they loose the elections, but when the move a bit more centre-left they win.

    This are the facts.

    Labour will have to move more to the centre if the have any hopes for the next elections in 2024.

    FAKE NEWS. PLEASE CHECK. Long Beley lied about her being worried about his father losing job in the docks. The docks she mentioned closed when she was 1 year old and her father was working in Shell. The Times discover her lies. Please do not repeat them

    Jess Phillips is completely unfit to be leader of anything. She's much more concerned with identity politics than actual politics.

    Topic suggestion: It would be interesting to see a video about the bombing of Soleimani and it’s implications.

    Just go down the local nut house and take your pick. Couldn’t be any worse than the woke weirdos who have chucked their names in!

    IF they pick a leader from the front bench or hard left or anti brexit mps then they are finished they need some one who is clean and can speak an is a leader a not an advised moron like now,but they will pick another bore and unpopular leader ,,they are done for they fight for ted wigget and his ferrets but we are not like that any more some one needs to tell them labour are living in the 19 70s,,

  14. @alex-sv8ru

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    Labour really went downhill after Tony Blair. The party seems like a joke now, not because they are economically left wing but because they've become a party of immigrants and middle class London elite.

  15. @nicbongo

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    Time seems right for David Milliband. Has he commented on this?

  16. @JimT-RCT

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    It seems a bit odd that they require support of union members when we saw in the last election that many such members are now actually Tory voters, it should be that the unions represent their membership and pull away from the Labour party altogether now.

  17. @that_pac123

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    Long Bailey is vastly preferable.

    I wonder how much it would cost to help get the easist targets for the MSM into the leadership? At £4.50 p/month for membership, maybe not that much. There's no point in pretending that politics isn't just a PR contest driven by the MSM. Keir looks like the hardest target for now. Most of the rest are easy pickings. Though Nandy could be a serious contender in a few years.

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    As a slighly unbiased view, i can see KS being the best that actual voters would vote for. RLB possibly their choice as they never had a female leader before. I wouldnt be surprised if she got the role just because vagina and better than the other women. If the amazing feminazi JP got the role, the party better get ready for losing the next elections too lol. My money on RLB at this point.

  32. @pixelboy7654

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    I think all these candidates are all a bunch of mopheads. Labour lost its core ideology. You might not agree but at least it would make them more reliable and consistent.

    Philips if she wins will be Labours answer to Swinson

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    Well, obviously it should be based on intersectionality points! Whoever is furthest up the ‘victimhood totem pole’ should win.

  35. @bonnie115

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    You used the title “sir” with Keir Starmer’s surname i.e. Sir Starmer. This is incorrect. The prefix is used with the holder's given name or full name, but never with the surname alone. So you should have said Sir Keir or Sir Keir Starmer

  36. @brucemcfarling7810

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    I like how around 8:00 you tackled the thorny question of whether to spell it compromise or comprimose by resorting to a comprimise.

  37. @revolutionalist

  38. @samuelhammond-laing3625

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    Where do each of the candidates stand on the political spectrum? Centrist? Soft left? Left?

  39. @stepevin923

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    None of the current shite are worth voting for. Labour is fucked up and always will be.

  40. @thegreenbikerider6189

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    Labour will choose a leader based on what's between their legs or ethnicity rather than ideas or merit. They will double down and continue into oblivion. Rational normal people like me will continue to not vote Labour.

  41. @smuu1996

    December 29, 2023 at 3:31 pm

    A Corbyn-type leader will always be better than a Blair-type, at least you know what the fuck you're getting with Corbyn.
