Re: Labour Leadership Contest

He has said what he would like to do.....but not where he will get the money to do it.
(nationalising the utilities , the railways and bringing back mining is not going to come cheap.......and this is not counting what he wants to spend on welfare.......If he thinks that raisng tax levels for the rich will do it he is sadly and badly mistaken - they will just take their assets elsewhere...not good for UK plc)
He is keen to jump into bed with the SNP with the aim of getting back into government(I think this will put a lot of English voters off).
There is no doubting his sincerity or his passion(and maybe that is what makes him seem an attractive proposition), but if he does become leader of the Labour party then I feel that this will condemn the Labour party to a long time in opposition......having said that the other candidates have all the allure of a dead hedgehog.
