Major was a pretty good PM, and Britain would have been a better place if Blair had never been elected but we had more years of Major instead. Corbyn is well honest and is a bot like honest John Major.

Major Corbyn you mean like just sit back and let others make policy .
A different, contradictory, policy for every day of the week, and a new tax every week - as the economy collapses, under the weight of the last tax rise, knocking out demand and investment.
An honest politician who happens to be a naive, dogmatic, know nothing, is not someone who should be allowed anywhere near office. Its quite amazing that we have the marxist version , and the US has the fascist version, with Trump, at the same time. Both are relying on the least educated, and most gullible, voters thinking someone who goes on about being anti-politics ,and tells them what they want to hear, has any workable idea at all of what to do about anything.
Exactly. Major could not run a whelk stall.
That the economy was so strong when he left power is a testament that he is anything but. When he lost power the economy had been growing non-stop for 5 years. At that time the World Economic Forum said this of the British economy "The prospects for achieving sustained output growth and low inflation are the best in 30 years.”
Why do you keep saying he's a Marxist? He hasn't proposed anything that could be called Marxist.
Unlike you, I suppose, even though you don't know what a Marxist is.
Yes, he signed the Maastricht Treaty.
This of course being after the ERM fiasco that tipped the British economy into the worst recession since the Great Depression.
Aye and that, too.
It depends upon how John McDonnell goes about things. Both Brown and Osborne never made any serious moves against tax avoidance and evasion but if McDonnell does, in cooperation with other EU Member States, then there's an additional £40 billion annually ready and waiting to be collected.
Yep - that's the one. The beloved ERM - which Major took us into as Chancellor and lobbied pretty hard for - and funnily enough, it was only after we had been booted out that the UK's economy recovered. Then there's the "Cones Hotline". ;-) I suppose he was actually a nice guy and unlike Blair, a sincere one. Alright, he did start the Ulster Peace Process - but, he's not going to be on a list of "Best Prime Minsters".
Everyone was saying we should go into the ERM, and Major deliberately put us in at too high a rate, at 2.90 euros to the pound, to make sure we got thrown out.
Not true. Major's terms flushed inflation out of the system and Chancellor Ken Clarke left our economy in a very healthy state which enabled New Labour to reap the rewards. Gordon Brown kept to Clarke's spending plans for New Labour's first term.
After four terms of Tory governments the electorate wanted a change of name and chose Tory Light (known as New Labour).
why would any sane person bonk edwina curry? It was,always a huge mystery. My theory is,he wanted to avoid cabinet meetings .........
His brother is Piers Corbyn, a well know figure in the world of 'alternative' weather forecasting.
