IronGiant

Had not a single registered supporter voted he would still have got 51% of the vote, so actually, you wasted your £3    However it is notable he got over 80% of the registered supporter vote.

exciting times ahead .We shall what happens but at the moment I feel quite optimistic if he manages to maintain the momentum and persuade the voting public that his vision is the right one for the UK.

Only if they had been removed although they've probably saved someone the job of doing it

Finding good calibre people to fill the shadow cabinet is going to be difficult. The famous ones will be there, like Diane Abbott, but he end up searching some of the lefty councils in London and other inner cities.
God help us!

I look forward to the decimation of our manufacturing industry, constant striking,  a return to the sick man of Europe image, public transport worse than what we have already and free everything for the feckless.

Good times they could be a coming......

Streets lined with garbage, the dead piling up.
Can you just smell the freedom?

This is of course if he doesn't start backtracking some of his more left wing ideas as they make him nationally unelectable to all but the hard liners.

Just having him there as the Leader of the opposition could turn out to be a disaster. Think about potential defence contracts especially with the US. Future investment by multinationals, etc.

I always think a good government is one with a strong (ish) opposition that can keep some of their more radical ideas, whichever way they lean, in check.

I don't see Labour being a strong opposition for a good while.

This was my thinking. There needs to be a decent opposition. It will be interesting to see how by-elections etc go.

If he should win any kind of power can I get first dibs for working in the library at the re-education camp?

If that historic child sexual abuse investigation and report is completed during this parliament, and reveals horrific deeds committed by (undoubtedly mostly Tory) politicians, along with disgusting cover ups by Steel, Thatcher et al, then all bets are off re 2020.
