Who has voted yet in the Labour Leaders Election?
Well I voted this morning online for the Labour Party's Leader and Deputy Leader elections online, as well as a number of the other Labour Party's internal elections not as well known about by the general public. I voted for Evette Cooper, as the first choice and Andy Burham as second choice in the leaders elections. I didn't vote for anyone else for third or fourth choice. Who did other Labour Party members and supporters vote for.
Ian.

I expect there will be a number of non Labour supporters doing the same.
>:( @ Diane Abbott.
Corbyn & Abbott. What a dream team. Wonder what Jezza thinks of Di's choice of school for her kids.

They sound like some comedy duo that failed a talent contest
I am beginning to think that there will be an awful lot of these claims i.e. "I am a Conservative/Green/UKIP Party member and I voted for Corbyn" if Corbyn does win. Most of these claims will be false and just attention-seeking.
Sad that people are so immature.
I find it amazing that you voted for someone, and so good is she in your opinion that you can't even spell her name.
If for some reason he isnt elected as the Labour party leader I shall NEVER vote Labour again for the rest of my life. (unless they actually change from trying to be the Tories)
In that case, why did you not register as a supporter and vote for him?
At least you would have tried to ensure that the Labour Party would become more like the party you would like it to be.
Edit: This is not a criticism of you, just a genuine inquiry.
No worries,
mainly because I have always made a point of not joining any political party, hard to say why exactly, it's just something I have never done and I doubt I will change the habit of a lifetime, the missus says it's because I am a skinflint and wouldn't spend Christmas
I prefer to 'support' them with my vote at elections, although I certainly believe that JC would make a great leader of the party, my missus has voted for him and so has her son and some of his mates,
one of the striking thing about Corbyn is the way he seems to have struck a chord with many young people, I think this is because many feel utterly betrayed by both the Tories and 'old' Labour.
If JC (what initials!
To be fair I'm a GP supporter but will be voting for Corbyn because if he gets in I might actually consider voting Labour.
He'd be real, genuine left-wing opposition to the incumbents.
I'm a little tired of Labour trying to dress up in the Tories' clothes. At the 2020 general election I want the British people to have a true choice between Capitalism and Socialism and I believe with Jeremy Corbyn as the leader of the Labour party we will get that choice and the people will overwhelmingly vote for Capitalism.
I don't agree with most of what you say but didn't take you for a petty fool I was obviously wrong
Do you think that Corbyn is appealing to young people because he actually comes across as being authoritive and experienced? I worry that PM's and senior politicians are getting younger and many voters therefore may feel they cant relate to them because of their lack of authority. We want our leaders to not talk in cliches, we want leaders to look and sound the part as if they have genuine life experience. I am not trying to be ageist, and I certainly dont support Corbyn's policies, but I respect him for offering experience, charisma and something different.
Corbyn is straight to the point. While many politicians will go around the houses befor answering a question he will answer it straight away. Its refreshing. I can totally see why he has excited a huge amount of people who haven't been interested in politics for a long time. Should he win and it catches on I think the Tories will be in real trouble. No one expected him to become this popular. The Blairites always feared him but the Tories went from thinking he would be a great leader to now smearing him at every chance. So its quite the turn around.
It is indeed a refreshing change and he is to be commended for this, but his message will still have little appeal to the wider electorate.
Straight talking is refreshing, but if he is elected leader, will that position remain? It is amazing what politicians say and do in order to get a vote, but it is their actions after securing it that really matters. I dont think Corbyn will win a general election, he may not even unite the Labour party, but he will ignite interest in the party for those who have deserted it.
You have to have policies that appeal to the majority before you can win an election. Corbyns policies are reckless, backwards thinking and largely contrary to what the majority think. How concerned are you, and millions of people, about immigration? Corbyns view on that one topic is enough for me to be ever so worried. It is one thing being different and refreshing, but quite another to entice 12 - 14 million Tory Voters, up to 4 million UKIP voters and a few million Labour voters to go down the path to what is in effect real socialism.
With respect though you are saying this from a deeply biased Tory point of view.
The majority of the UK are at the centre ground with politics and flirt between left and right but there is also a huge majority of untested voters and we would have no idea what they would do should someone like Corbyn motivate them enough.
70% do not vote Tory. 40 million people didn't vote at all. There is huge potential there for Corbyn to wake up those who feel Politics left them behind.
I agree. But it would still take a tsunami sized swing to convert all the tories and ukip to a socialist Government. Considering Majors Government had 14 million voters, that us an awful lot of people to persuade. Mote people may also vote in order to create a socialist Government of course, but they could be countered by mire voting to prevent one.
