It's kind of unbelievable that Labour could go from the "New Labour" Blair/Brown era to being led by a far leftist within the span of just a few years.

Will be interesting to see how the Right of the party reacts when/if Corbyn is declared the new leader.

Can we not refer to parts of the party not backing Corbyn as "the right of the party" please? k thanks

Yes, I should have worded it differentl, though was mainly thinking of the "New Labour" type (not easily defined, but still). While the prospect of Corbyn as leader will obviously be unpalatable (to say the least) for most MPs, I imagine that it will be even more difficult to swallow for those on the "right" of the party.

THIGMOO is an amazing thing sometimes.

Heh, I had to google that one.Smiley

Do you imagine there'll any attempt at 'reconciliation' if he wins, or will it be a case of factional warfare 24/7?
