In reply to the discussion: Thread for anyone to explain why Labour would do better under Owen Smith's leadership. [View all]T_i_B
(14,749 posts)22. It comes back to the same, depressing problem
Which is not socialism or ideology, but the question of Corbyn's ability (or lack thereof) to run a large, fractious organisation like the Labour party. That's the major reason why most of his shadow cabinet walked out on him.
Like I said, it's increasingly becoming a matter of personal vendettas over policy. All very depressing. Makes you glad you're not a Labour member, but it's of no comfort when you need the Tories to be challenged over many bad policies.

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