"Party at Conservative central tonight then! "
They should be careful what they wish for.
Assuming Mr Corbyn is still in post in 2020 there are a number of groups of people who will vote for him en masse:
- "Traditional" Labour supporters in the inner cities, former industrial towns and elsewhere who "would never vote for anybody else" and who would vote Labour even if the leader was a large block of concrete.
- Almost all "incomers" (those who have arrived in the last twenty years and the newer arrivals, of which there will be plenty more by then).
- Probably most worryingly, many, many young people who will have recently emerged from eleven or twelve years of State education, having been taught by mainly left wing teachers (cue jim360 to refute this contention) and who still know everything but pay for nothing. The only possible stumbling block to this mass of votes is that most of them, having known nothing but "Tory Toffs" in power for almost as long as they have been able to speak, may not bother to vote (unless facilities to do so are made available via Twitter or Facebook).
The Conservatives will need to have done rather well in the intervening years to successfully counter this.
