Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
I think the point he making was that Corbyn might have high support among the non-voters but he got the numbers wrong. That's it!

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
Also the turnout is a percentage of those registered to vote. In some wards in Leeds there are streets where the electoral role says No Registered Electors against the majority of properties. So I doubt anyone truely knows the real numbers.

Although I'm sure the areas where there are 20-30 people registered per house go someway to balancing things out.

Would that be because they are students (Leeds has nearly 90,000 of them) and a large majority are registered at their non-term time address?

I don't know. but whoever they are. Corbyn might appeal to them enough to go out and vote. and Dave will help him by cutting those that thought he wouldn't touch.
so there's 4 years for all the votes to swing anyway.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
Rail nationalisation: Jeremy Corbyn’s stupid flagship policy
Quote:
Aren’t the railways in England, Scotland and Wales already owned by the state in the form of Network Rail? I know Network Rail lets franchises to private providers, such as FirstGroup and Virgin Group, but that doesn’t mean these private companies own the railways — the clue is in the word ‘let’. So how exactly will Corbyn ‘bring back into public ownership’ something that’s already owned by the public?
What he’ll do is wait for the existing leases to run their course and then, when the franchises come up for renewal, not rent them to private providers. Instead, they’ll be operated by a new, government provider — Corbyn Rail. Couple of problems with this.
First of all, only five of Great Britain’s 25 railway franchises are coming up for renewal between 2020 and 2025. If Corbyn is proposing to make the renationalisation of the railways the centrepiece of his first-term legislative programme, it’ll be a bit of a damp squib. By my estimation, he’d have to remain in power until 2036 in order to see this policy through.
You might think that none of this matters. After all, the chances of Corbyn becoming our next prime minister are fairly slim. But his abandonment of the cross-party consensus in this area will inevitably create a climate of uncertainty, deterring private companies from bidding for the franchises and discouraging the present operators from investing in the network. He’s also indicated that Labour would attempt to ‘renationalise’ academies and free schools, which will create similar levels of anxiety in the education sector.
If Corbyn continues in this vein, his leadership victory won’t just be a disaster for the Labour party. It will be a disaster for the whole country.
