In reply to the discussion: Thread for anyone to explain why Labour would do better under Owen Smith's leadership. [View all]RogueTrooper

is my personal opinion of Corbyn and his crew.
I was happy to accept the result of last year's leadership election. My order or voting was the two women, then AB then RON. Much of the motivation behind the leadership election is the competency, or lack thereof, of Corbyn as Leader of the Opposition. This I can understand as the laundry list of fuckups is already quite long.
Ideologically, I think Labour would have a better electoral future with somebody more progressive than Owen Smith but I have come to accept the necessity of the competence argument. I shall be voting for the Welsh fella; whilst despairing that my Party seems incapable, KD up in Scotland aside, putting women into leadership positions.

You're being silly...but would anyone actually object to Branson himself being nationalized?
