I'm hoping the 2020 election may be something of a re-run of 1983, personally. With any luck we might even see some 21st century Labour centrists forming a latter day SDP, which should split the vote nicely.

In the meantime, if Corbyn is good for anything, then during the honeymoon period he will undoubtedly have over the next 18 months, he might just add a few votes to the EU exit campaign.

I wonder how many people in 2020 will be saying they want Blair back running the Party? Maybe that's the plan. Get the Party so ruined that Blair will be seen as the Messiah again who will come and resurrect them from the ashes to lead them to glory again.

I'm willing to watch how he does in the coming years.I have been a tory voter for most of my 40 years of voting apart from a couple of detours(blair big mistake).There is a huge number of voters who have never had a "true labour" government in power.As i have got older i have got to say i am sick of recent governments cowtowing towards big private business.Can anyone convince me that we have not been shafted on prices by the privatised gas,electricity etc.All they function for is to line the shareholders pockets.Never mind the plebs who pay.I would be happy to re nationalise gas,elec,rail,instead of paying dividends to parasites.

Excellent result. Opens a debate rather than England having a choice of centre-right, more-centrist-right, centre-slightly-right, and chameleon.

I'd agree except the media will do the usual hatchet job as they did with Kinnock and Milliband..There will be no debate.

+1.

Allows people to a range of policies, not just Tory and Tory-light.

Looks as though Corbyn is quite aware and is striking pre-emptively.

Look at who runs the media. Of course his policies will have a bumpy ride. At least he appreciates it rather than trying to accommodate it.
