After seeing the crowds he draws hes welcome to the lentil eating fools for the most part tbh....Waving your fist with a load of activists doesn't appeal to a lot of voters around here, if it did then Merthyr would've been packed today. Wasn't the reasoning behind the date being changed twice that the interest was very poor at first, just something I heard today? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A few 100 people on a weekday afternoon is a bloody good turn out for any political rally, it just seems small compared to the 1000s that have turned out in big cities to see him No idea why the date was changed but it seems to me moving the date around is more likely to negatively effect attendance than boost it. Take it you can't name another politician that enjoys anywhere near the same level of grassroots support then That's fine but you should say that instead of dodging the question.

BGD 6,385 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/04/high-court-to-rule-on-new-members-vote-in-labour-leadership-ballot The high court will rule on Monday on whether 130,000 people who recently became Labour party members will be allowed to vote in the upcoming leadership election, after a lawyer representing a group of them argued they had been unfairly excluded from the process.The five new members, making the case on behalf of a bigger contingent who have crowdfunded their legal fees, are challenging Labour over contract law. They say the party’s national executive committee (NEC) was wrong to decide in July that only members who joined at least six months before could vote.Stephen Cragg QC, representing the five, told the court that Labour’s rulebook made no provision for such a distinction and did not give the NEC powers to implement one. Word on the grapevine is Owen Smith will pull out if it's ruled that the 130,000 new members do get a vote to avoid Corbyn winning with an increased mandate. Apparently some rebel MPs have already been putting pressure on him to pull out after his performance so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,385 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Labour beat UKIP in a council by-election last night, obviously with the really low turnout for council by-elections it doesn't really mean much in the big picture but interesting to see such a clear swing from UKIP to Labour.
