Is there any chance of Owen winning? As much as I prefer Corbyn to any recent labour leader. I cant see the general public voting for him. With Lib dem failing to grasp this opportunity it will leave us with an uncontested Tory rule, probably with a UKIP shadow government.
I admire Corbyn for his principles but quiet a few Labour voters on here and friends I talk to say they can't see themselves voting for him.
He's a shoein for today but in the general election terms I can't see him getting anywhere near what they need too.

I think he'd probably a good mp for his constituents and like a god few others was right to vote against Iraq war.
However he isn't appealing to the public, he won't win a general election.
And Is dosent take a Zionist mainstream media poodle to work that one out 😃
Holy moly did you really just say you think ukip will be the second biggest party at the next election??
Want Corbyn to win despite his faults. Would like him to push for de-selection of disloyal members of the PLP immediately and politically realign the party to represent the membership. Not convinced he will though. His inclination towards reconciliation will be his downfall. If he isn’t ruthless now we will be back in this position in a year's time and Labour really will be regarded by the electorate as a joke.
He gets or should l say got my vote
Just what do you consider "his faults" to be?
I'm not aware of one single person that he has been responsible for killing, or one country that he has authorised bombing in. I admit he hasn't put any boots on the ground anywhere but he has put his daps on his cycle pedals and I'm still trying to figure out if that disqualifies him from a being a leader of a country, whose people want to be led by someone not looking for the next war to get involved in.
I think people respect him for having principles and being honest but he's a bit of a hard sell to the middle classes in the south of England who win you General Elections. They aren't convinced, for example, that he will do a good job with the economy. I'm not convinced either that all those former-Labour voters who now support Ukip are going to return to the fold under immigration-friendly Jezza. As we know he's an easy target for the media who have resurrected every 70s lefty reference under the sun to demonise him. And he can't command loyalty in the PLP as he's never been loyal himself. Hopefully he can solve that one by urging the de-selection of half the PLP. One big plus point for JC is the election of old biddy Theresa Mayhem as the Tory leader. He always looked a bit ancient and desiccated up against Cameron but now things are a little more even, image-wise.
There's a way we in Wales can avoid this Tory rule. Perhaps it should become part of the discussion?
And how do you know this for certain O wise one?
