Blair left before he became unelectable.  Everyone seems to conveniently forget that 2 years after Iraq Blair won a 3rd straight election with 356 seats, or 26 more than the Tories have now.   I think for me, the point is that Ed Miliband didn't lose because he was not left wing enough, which is what many seem to have concluded.  When the Republicans react to election losses by veering off even further to the right we all laugh at them, but here Labour is doing the same thing.  Corbyn is a leader for the 70s, the world (and voters) are different now.  Appealing to the party base is not enough.  I am not a Labour member but I did vote for Labour in many previous elections, including 2015.  I will not be voting for them in their current form (though that applies equally with Smith).  Presumably most party members were voting Labour anyway.

The country will be at a great loss without a decent opposition, look what happened with Brexit.

OK, so we have had a visit from the leader of the Green party & the leader of the Labour party ... for little old Harringay ward ... for a by-election. What's going on?

A glut of politicians with parliament closed and no other elections on.

delighted to see Jeremy in Harringay. The change that is sweeping the Labour Party will find its way into Haringey Council. Lord knows we need it. Just had to correct a post on Facebook which had photos of Jeremy and Zena canvassing in Tottenham!

Hi Philip the Tottenham reference refers to the constituency Harringay ward is in

Philip, a toad on a toadstool could get in as Labour Party leader with an anti austerity msg! It's not Jeremy per se who has particularly made the uprising within the Labour voting electorate happen. He has simply reflected what people have been feeling. But he won't be able to bring in the middle ground voter in the next election unfortunately so Labour needs a leader who can ... and at the moment he's in New York.

The middle ground/class voters are being utterly destroyed, he'll get them.

"Philip, a toad on a toadstool could get in as Labour Party leader with an anti austerity msg!" <- Owen Smith. #fail

I'd be very surprised if he does.

Corbyn won't win. For every hard left socialist that joins the party two more people elsewhere will not vote labour come the election. We've been here before. It resulted in the Tories running the country for years and years and years.

We are heading to become a neo liberal tax haven hated by the world. That will be Corbyns legacy.

To stick to Cllr Ibrahim's original post, rather than go wandering off like everyone else here, I very happily voted for Jeremy to represent this Ward in 1978 and 1982 and would have voted for him also in 1974 had I not been living in a Sierra Leonean ward at the time. The reasons? (a) Jeremy was an excellent Harringay councillor, and (b) he lived in Harringay Ward - on John McMullan's road, if I'm not mistaken. The reasons the wife and I have voted today for Karen Alexander is (a) she has been an excellent Harringay councillor and (b) she lives in Harringay Ward - on our road as it happens, but that's just a slightly parochial bonus. I have no doubt that Zena Brabazon would be an excellent Haringey councillor, too - indeed she has been.  Nevertheless, I'm sure Jeremy should find something else to occupy his time - like pruning back that damned (?Labour)rose-bush just outside his door before it removes his left eye one of these mornings in full view of the world's prying cameras.
