So you are saying Corbyn is not a man who sticks to his principles. Interesting.

The end result would be? Yep, you've guessed it, not doctrinaire socialism but social democracy.Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Mon, 07 September 2015 21:21

You're a poor mans Jeremy Paxman, that's for sure..all leaders have to make compromises and aside from tin pot dictators, not a single leader converts all personal views into policies. I'm guessing you already know that thoughOriginally Posted by Feedback wrote on Mon, 07 September 2015 22:19
Exactly. Feedy seems to have a problem distinguishing between personal views and policiesOriginally Posted by heath/ccfc wrote on Mon, 07 September 2015 22:34
I agree with you about the railways heath save for one very small fact. Certain sections of the public become apoplectic with rage at the thought of privatisation. They aren't interested in end product only political ideology.Originally Posted by heath/ccfc wrote on Mon, 07 September 2015 22:34
Blair was a social democrat. Yet the party want to shift left away from his policies more towards a traditional left wing position. If you want to call that social democracy then you do that. However that doesn't make it so because you say so. Corbyn is no social democrat and the rank and file syndicalists who are cheering and supporting his every move are testament to that fact.Originally Posted by alfie sherwood wrote on Tue, 08 September 2015 07:10
edit - re: Tony Blair. Blair was on the right of the social democratic spectrum. Corbyn is on the left of it.Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Tue, 08 September 2015 07:37
My concern with you Feedback is, and I might be wrong, you come across as closed to the idea of public ownership ever being a good thing. Why not take the pragmatic view and realise that there are both private and public bodies that both succeed and fail?Originally Posted by Feedback wrote on Tue, 08 September 2015 07:35
We had the public sector try Hinchingbrooke Hospital and we have the private sector and both failed in delivering a service within set parameters. The point is there is no right or wrong although I would say that for public services you need a good balance of private sector efficiency and public sector efficacy. The issue the UK has with its politics is that its quite immature - its either one way or the other but no middle ground.Originally Posted by alfie sherwood wrote on Tue, 08 September 2015 08:54
