If Corbyn Wins & and then becames PM?
this just a thought but if Jeremy Corbyn becomes the next Labour Leader and then goes on to Win the General Election in 2020 how long would Mr Corybn be Prime Mininster for Given his age
Jeremy Corbyn is 66 now time the Election Comes he will be in his 70s so does he stick it out for 5 years as PM stay for 2 for example and the party have Leadership election with in the 5 years of Corbyn becoming pm

Basically until he dies - it would be perfectly possible to survive a full term given the average age that people die in this country which is 81.
Age is not relevant - policies are and for that reason I cannot see the country voting in an avowedly left wing government. Blair was not so you need to go back to 1974 to find the last time one was voted in (and that by a wafer thin majority).
He is bound to give Denis Skinner a shadow cabinet position and Skinner is eighty three and has had bowel cancer, a heart by-pass and a hip replacement.
Who knows...but average male life expectancy in the UK is now 80...indeed it is the increase in life expectancy for men (and a narrowing of the gap between men and women) that is one of the prime drivers in our aging population.
That's All Folks!
LOL. Perhaps Mandy could make return as Dr. Malevolent.
We could have Lord Scargill in the Upper House with a responsibility for energy
He'd have to win twice to do that. Once looks unlikely, but twice?
He runs the country and we hope for the best
I wonder if they'll do one on Boris's first 100 days, would be a laugh the things they come up with.
Someone's already had a go: http://www.sunnation.co.uk/what-if-comrade-corbyn-became-labour-leader/
Though it might be a stretch to call the writer a "Top Labour blogger".
More than likely they will do a 12 part series about him on The Comedy Channel
That's a hell of a suggestion
Imagine after the 2020 election: Corbyn as PM, Skinner as Chancellor, Diane Abbott as Home Secretary, get Gorgeous George back in the fold and make him Foreign Secretary, and is it too late to get Red Ken back to handle transport? Just think what shape the country will be in come 2025
I do however have concerns that he is in his mid to late 60's and is still spouting student level politics.
They didn't stop Harold Wilson and they thought he was a Soviet spy
Don't forget that by 2020 it will be 41 years since we had a Left leaning Labour government which means anyone under their early 50s won't remember how bad it was so could just be foolish enough to fall for it
Despite the transparent spin being put around by Corbyn's acolytes and others on the far left, we nearly had a left-leaning - as in catastrophically anti-business - Government last time.
Meanwhile, away from fantasies, here's an interesting stat I read today...
Presumably that's before the Boundary Commission get their teeth into them.
and, of course, the 18 years of Tory rule between 1979-97 were marvellous for millions of people in communities in the North, South Wales, East Midlands etc.
Two sides to every story.
I don't dispute Blair and Brown were a disaster but they were a different kind of disaster than Callaghan and Wilson
The founding fathers of Labour would be spinning in their graves if they saw what had happened to their party since the fifties
They were a hell of a lot better than the 70s believe me I just checked your profile you were 8 when Thatcher came to power so have no clear recollection of how bad it was
