It's easy to forget just how thorough was the New Labour Project. Everyone had to be "on message" Corbyn was a rare rebel because he had a safe seat & no ambition for advancement within the Party or indeed Government. As for the future, hopefully a new Dem Soc Party will emerge.

Don’t know I’ve the luxury of time. Corbyn such a breath of fresh air - someone who actually represented what I believed in. A new party is such a long-term enterprise. I’m thinking of the Greens? If not I think I’ll just have to become a full time cynic and to hell with them all

I'm sure there are enough socialist MP's + new now who could start another party practically overnight if they set their minds to it, and I have no doubts whatsoever that they'd have the support + votes to go with. Change UK had no support as were blatantly part of the problem.

There are plenty of “real” socialist parties out there, why will your new one be any more popular?

Look them up
@CPGBML@SocialistParty@WorkersPartyGB@socialistworker@socialistlabour Sorry if I missed any. But nothing is stopping people from forming their own party. Just do it. Issue a manifesto and see how many people join.3 antwoorden 0 retweets 2 vind-ik-leuks -

I understand that the original premise was along the lines of "wouldn't it be great if all the left wing MPs in Labour left Labour to stand as Independents and formed a Socialist Party." I'm like 'yes'. You want a Manifesto? That escalated quickly

Oh right, so not a serious discussion just fantasy politics. Sorry I misunderstood. Is this like one of those pick your favourite socialists for a dinner party games? If not, then yes you need to have an idea what programme you support or you are just a fan club of your “leader”.

Dave’s far from being thick. Contrary at times, but always sharp
