UK General Discussion: 2019. Blackadder goes Brexit.

"you are clearly a diehard Labour and Corbyn supporter"

I have always been Labour yes, but did not vote for JC in either leadership election.

That doesn't mean I have to buy into the ultra-negative view of him people like you have. Even more so since the man himself doesn't matter as much as what he represents.

You are clearly a partisan who doesn't care what the Lib Dems do, you'll go on hating them.

So if Corbyn (or indeed some hypothetical "unity" figure) could get all non-Tory MPs behind them, they would at least have a chance.

Again, the issue isn't Corbyn. It is in the interest of Change UK and their spin-offs to have an election as late as possible, so their MPs don't get unemployed.

No, the entire issue is Corbyn.  He is toxic and I don't know why leftists here want to defend him.

I don't like Corbyn but he is less toxic than the "centrist" careerists of Change UK (who are polling 0%, so clearly I'm not alone thinking that).

That's the same as comparing colon to pancreatic cancer.  They're both toxic and the issues surrounding them stem from that toxin.
