Who should be the next labour leader?

DaySpider · 22-25, F
Farage.

He's got loads of experience of not getting MPs elected and that seems to be what Labour is going for right now.

@LukeTheDuke OK so change uk and the Lib dems are bad examples (two bad examples which both lost to Corbyn's Labour as well as the nationalist right.

I can give you a dozen more examples of collapsing centre left parties in countries which don't have brexit. Look. At the German sdp or the French socialist party which have collapsed by being centrist.

Read in to the crisis of social democratic parties in Europe. We are in a different era now and one of a collapsing centre and rising nationalist right.
Agree with that analysis. So what do you think is the solution to Labour becoming electable?@Burnley123

@LukeTheDuke It's tough. We need to have policies which improve people's material conditions more than new labour. More working class MPs are also a, must.

A lot depends on the Tories. If brexit goes badly, it's bad for the country but means labour can win. Visa versa also applies.

Rebecca Long Bailey.

Favourite also imo
Theresa May was so bad in 2017, that she gifted labour several points, particularly scaring her core voters that they may have to sell their homes to pay for social care. 2017 does not provide a good enough explanation of how Labour can be popular again. @Burnley123

@LukeTheDuke May still got over 42%, which is normally a winning margin. Some credit needs to be given to what corbyn did well back then.
Yes, point taken. I suppose one of the most attractive labour policies that motivated young voters was the promise to wipe out student debt. @Burnley123
Donald Trunp- Get that Mother Fucker out of the USA! Fuckin embarrassment!

It should be David Milliband.
Impossible. He’s not an MP. @justastrugglingguy

@LukeTheDuke I never said it was possible, just said it should be.
