With more unions rejoining with Labour under Corbyn I'm not really seeing where you're coming from there as he's been the one standing with support of the disadvantaged, the unions and the people in general. Under Corbyn a number of unions have reaffiliated with them too! I know a lot of people in London and they all support Corbyn, and I mix with a very diverse community. Maybe you just don't like Corbyn?


There has been no more or less union affiliation. That's figures and seeking out members. The party membership has been inflated. I like Corbyn. Christ, as a Unison member I voted for him. The Party needs him. He's shooting himself in the foot though due to abstaining in important social legislation on various occasions. That's why The Labour Party have let me down. The front bench is weak. I believe in Scottish Nationalism. Corbyn says he's a socialist, yet he won't support us.

Good for England, Wales, NI possibly...but bad for Scotland. The Labour Party in Scotland is an absolute shambles. They have been toothless. The Labour Party in London has some teeth, and it fucking better use it properly, or Keir Hardie will turn in his grave.



Thing is there's no reason for Corbyn to support Scottish Nationalism, quite honestly the SNP have been a pain in the arse for Labour since 1979. Corbyn is a socialist, which is almost a polar opposite from Nationalism, which I see as more right wing than left.

If you look at 'New Labour' voting, who abstained on pretty much everything then Corbyn's record is actually very good. I believe the current party membership is approximately half a million, which whether you agree or not with the figures they are still the largest party in the UK by a very wide margin!

As for Unions the FBU and PCS are two very large unions that have rejoined Labour under Corbyn more will follow.

The Labour Party in the UK will be allowed to use it's teeth when people stop undermining the leadership that actually stand for what the Labour party was created to do in the first place.



The SNP are not right wing. The SNP are what OUR LABOUR PARTY in Scotland used to be years ago, but gave away and sold out. Left of centre. OK, we are not a truly socialist party, but my country seems to be doing alright. We are not a seperatist party. Work in Progress! Just believe in indy. It's morally justified and it will happen within 10 years. It will. Why be ruled by Tories, when there's none there?

You'll be doubting Norway next!

There's probably more socialists (Marxists/Leninists) per square inch to ratio population in Scotland than anywhere else in the world. We're like that! We'll keep it that way too :)
