what do you think are his chances ?

[mushroom25]

In his Guardian article, he suggests Labour didn't go far enough in espousing their left wing credentials and intends to go even further -

maybe I missed something. but wasn't the left wing doctrine set out in the labour manifesto comprehensively rejected by the electorate?

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah, but the public will know better next time.

[davebro]

Like reverse Moses - leading his people INTO the wilderness! Idiot.

[ToraToraTora]

looks like another Marxist titf3r !

[dannyk13]

Looks like a rather nasty person by what is written about him.

[ichkeria]

No I didn’t actually and zero :-)

Wikipedia // Lewis has been described as an "ally" of Corbyn, and one of his "early backers" //

Oh dear.

[naomi24]

They'll never learn.

What is wrong with these people?

Corbyn's far left ideology was overwhelmingly dismissed last week for the absurd fantasy it was, and yet this man wants to take them even further to the left.

It's bananas.

Our two party system works best when we have left of centre and right of centre, so the sooner Labour lurch rightward, they are going to have to resign themselves to being in opposition for the next decade at least.

[emmie]

as good as any i guess.

[emmie]

which currently isn't saying a lot..

[Apc2604]

Clive Lewis is a younger nastier version of Corbyn. His constituency includes UEA Norwich, and is the only red area in a sea of blue in Norfolk. One wonders why ;o)

[Zacs-Master]

He writes 'The truth is that while making a clear break with the New Labour era in terms of policy and personnel, the party was never able to communicate this to voters in our heartlands'
Erm, no, sunshine, the people in your heartlands were scared shirtless that your Marxist policies would be implemented!

What a cockwomble.

[ludwig]

// the party was never able to communicate this to voters in our heartlands //

Translation : The voters got it wrong. We need to keep going exactly as we are until they get it right.

[shoota]

Exactly the mindset of a totalitarian communist regime.

[youngmafbog]

He is another activist and no leader like COB is, he also is a rank outsider so I put his chances at nil.

And if he does win it's goodbye to labour, which long term wont help any of us.

“Cockwomble”

Brilliant.

I’ve never heard that before - I’m going to steal that and pretend it’s my own!
