Is it?

Perhaps he can start up a new party such as the Socialist Workers Party.He could call it the National(because it would be the whole of Britain)Socialist(self-explanatory)British(because it would be British)Workers(self explanatory)Party.

Really that's what should happen. The left wing of the Labour Party should start their own party where they can worship Jeremy to the high heavens without having to worry about ever winning seat and having to do anything practical.

He is in the labour party but had the whip withdrawn

Yes Agent Cob is not the only anti Semite terrorist loving anti Brit in Labour

oh ma Gawd - Dave Spart late of Private Eye has not joined AB has he?

Dave continues : i.e......

surprisingly ( even on AB, even Mods) have rules to follow
Most adults are allowed to vote - ( bar MPs and mad people)

so is anyone mad or not allowed to stand as a candidate
perhaps with the blessing of the local party, if the local party want him?

[Peter Pedant]

More complex a question than perhaps the average sheltered ABer may face.
Didnt Boris - Boris the blessed - send inn commissioners to the Tory party to root out candidates in the Tory party who supported remain

Purges ( oh Bliar certainly did ) are not the sole domain of Stalin

[Peter Pedant]

Yeah someone is gonna snappily quip
who Stalin den?

[Peter Pedant]

yeah too complex
OK
well the people's republic of Islington certainly want the obviously crazy Corbyn as a candidate,
so can he stand? clearly yes
but as an official Labour candidate?
bearing in mind even the crazies on AB seem to accept that Starmer will be the next Prime Minister

[Spungle]

Poor Jeremy lol
