Corbyn, This is democracy!!!! Options

[TallDarkAndHands...]

Shouts a Corbynister outside the NEC meeting as Corbyn leaves. Yep 32 people sat round a table making a decision which affects the whole Country is far more democratic than a referendum involving 40 odd million people!!!!!😂

We need an opposition. This is a disaster.

I heard now former lLabour Leader contender on the radio explaining how the MPs were actually in touch with public opinion. Apparently it's because like her, they hold very busy constituency surgeries, full of people who are begging them for help to mitigate the cuts. So, no matter what, nothing will stop her helping those people.

Indeed, very worthy I'm sure, but demonstrates what is wrong. That is, the bulk of the population see local and now national politicians as little more than social workers. Sadly, the politicians (who have actually encouraged this) see this as gathering public opinion.

The Queen gets on a train now and again, a train is public transport, ergo, the Queen is one of the people.

Perhaps she should go to a meeting of her constituency party - who are considering deselecting her.
