No it's not, it's at 1.20 according to the FT. We had parity in 2009.

Corbyn has played a blinder. The press are slagging him off but he's cleared labour of the right wingers and Blairites. Over 10,000 turned up this evening to show their support for him.

He's going to gut the labour party and give it back to the old style working class labour voter.

There is currently about 75% of the Labour Party that will vote him back in if they force a leadership contest myself included. If the Torys do force an early election we can get rid of the entire right of the party.

Not saying for one minute we would win, but at the very least we'd end the Blairite years and start afresh.

I said when Corbyn came in that he will expose the Tories for how far to the right they have swung.

There isn't an effective left wing of politics. The LibDems did an excellent job of keeping the Tories in check. They got demolished in the last election, which means there's no one to contest the right side of the political spectrum.

The Tories won the last general election because your old style working class voter didn't connect with the labour party. There's been a shift. People now see Labour as being supported by those who traditionally would have been seen as middle class. Labour have shifted too far to the centre to try and win voters. They've ended up alienating a lot of them.

Politically the next 12 months are going to be very interesting.

The irony is he's not actually that left wing. What he is though is someone that actually gives a shit and doesn't put himself or his party before the people.

Doesn't the lack of an effective Left simply accentuate, or even exaggerate the perception of a Tory shift to The Right???
