Well, lets hope Comrade Corbyn does win. Then at the next General Election we will see how many people would want him as Prime Minister. It will be fun reading the excuses from the likes of Nick/Legal when the Labour party is reduced to Lib-Dem style numbers of MPs.

Corbyn unelectable? Well he is resonating with Londoners.

A few have posted on here that Corbyn would be a very unpopular choice. I'll send them the recipe for humble pie in a few months when Corbynhas proved to be a more than able opposition leader.

Of course the likes of Farage have been given an easy ride have they? As Truman said, "if he can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen". Sounds like you are already getting your excuses in place for his inevitable defeat if leader.

It's all very well suggesting Corbyn is a popular choice and likely to go close as Labour leader, but you are talking about 600,000 people eligible to vote and a lot of them being very left leaning party activists will be drawn to Corbyn.

Unfortunately for Labour if he does get voted in as leader, the damage won't be apparent until the next election, when millions will be voting and the general public will once again reject a non credible leader like they did with Foot, Kinnock, Brown and Miliband.

You and others are totally in denial if you think otherwise.

Burnham remains the credible choice with Cooper as his deputy.

I personally hope Corbyn does get in, just like I hope Wenger picks a weakened team tomorrow and hands us victory.

Because sadly London has become a multi culti hell hole and home of the liberal elite.

Corbyn and the left of the Labour party do have some popular policies.

Re-nationalization of at least the Railways is popular.....Mainly because the Tories really fecked the whole system up.

But ideas like supporting unilateral nuclear disarmament and blanket support of the EU.....Well, really....they have no real chance with anyone other than their core support.

Still.....At least the Labour party will be an honest reflection of the views of their support base.

Unlike the Tory leadership.....Who mainly hold their nose.

Absolutely he is, he has all the characteristics: politically correct, politically naive and gullible, as well as being bearded, vegetarian and tetotal.

You think elites are always held in high regard? Having Corbyn in charge would be like having Neil from The Young Ones.

You know Nick, I would actually support the renationalisation of gas, water and electricity and perhaps the railways. Even though they would no doubt be more inefficient and overstaffed, the current price hiking cartels are unacceptable. But as with the NHS we would need to try to run them on a more business like basis and not just endlessly sink money into them. How we would achieve that is problematic.

My real problem with Corbyn is the rest of the new left baggage, the support of Irish and Palestinian terrorists, appeasement of Islamic extremism, unlimited immigration (although I believe he is Euro-sceptic - but that probably means he would leave the EU but still allow the entire population of any country to come here if they want), unilateral disarmament.

His anti-austerity stance is also a worry, his policy seems to be to simply ignore our debts. Whoever we blame for the financial situation it has to be faced and sorted out.
