Macron vs Le Pen for presidential run off is the current projection.

Yep Chris - thanks for catching the typo. Macron - 26 points ahead in the polls. Even further than May is ahead of Corbyn. So I take that it's pretty much a done deal unless he does something really idiotic. |

We're still putting faith in opinion polls? Really?

If you work on the basis they they are accurate to within 10 points at anyone time you have a basis I suppose.

Seems to me they haven't been that far off on the whole. EU ref and USA were predicted to be v close its just lots of people didn't want to believe it. Last UK election a few points off but the French polls are showing a 20 point gap...I think that can be believed.

So do we think Corbyn has a chance against May on those grounds? (Opinion polls). Thought not. |

Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO)
Spot on: 'There are enough socialism fans in the UK to vote Corbyn into the Labour Leader’s office, but not enough to vote him into number 10, Downing St, and they’re rotten useless at persuading anybody else that voting for Labour candidates might be a good idea, so this — to be perfectly frank — is where we’re stuck (at least until 8 June). Corbynism is a paranoid and inward-looking politics, obsessively focused on the relationships between and within the groups that make up the self-identified Left. It has little interest in — and still less to offer — the outside world. While Corbyn alienates most members of the public, enamoured socialism fans regurgitate a stock of commonplace platitudes to anyone who will listen, reassuring themselves that the leader of ‘their’ party is a politician wonderfully unlike all others, and that they are right to support him, and that anything that others might suppose to have gone wrong must have been somebody else’s fault (if indeed it was wrong at all). That’s what they’ve been doing ever since he got onto the leadership ballot, and it’s what they’ll still be doing on 9 June, no matter how many talented and hard-working Labour MPs are reconciling themselves to the end of their political careers.' |

Mr 1%
We're supposed to choose between our evil Grandma or our deranged Grandad. I think I might vote for nice uncle Tim, who buys school dinners for kids and won't tell me off for having the odd space cake. It might be a wasted vote, but to be fair - voting for any of these twats is a wasted vote. |

TRO, where's that quote from? It fails to mention that in the eyes of the Corbinistas it's also the fault of the 'mainstream media', who are constantly misrepresenting JC as part of some plot, and that anyone who's met him would think that JC could equally stand for Jesus Christ. Of course a lot of the right wing media is doing a hatchet job on him, but when the Guardian loses faith in him, you have to realise that something is amiss.

What's the Daily Mirror's stance on Corbyn? If anyone us going to support him, it's them.
