It wont with a Tory government.

I wasn't criticizing Ken Livingstone, merely expressing opinion people ( rightly or wrongly) will not vote for anyone seen as radical or extreme. You know better than most its not always reality folk are put off by (or attracted to) its how they are perceived.
The labour movement has lost direction, doesn't know wether its tory light was with Blair, extreme left as with Livingstone or tolerant left as with Corbyn. Yes, the public have been misled,just as they have always been. Look how Scargil will be remembered... But on top of all that the labour movement is in complete disarray...people believe what they want to believe. The voting public would never support anything resembling extreme left. That's why Corbyn must moderate and give in on some issues. He wont, so he won't get in. Like I,ve said so many times we now have a one party democracy, and that is a way bigger issue than Brexit.
But don't moan at such as me...have a go at Corbyn, Blair and Abbot. They might be victims of right wing press but they make it easy for them and on top of that adopt policies that make them unelectable for mass majority of voters.
