militants only get traction when the policies of other parties are rejected by the voters.
The Tory party need to build mass council housing to head of the accommodation problems people are suffering ,,and reset the abuse of workers in the labour market, this is mostly instigated by companies out sourcing to parasitical employment agencies.

Popular vote for Labour was 12,878,460 in the 2017 GE; this equated to 40% of the vote. Are your opinions in any way founded on evidence?

last election was basically the second Referendum, so a lot of non-Lab types held their nose and voted for the old Jez Cabbage

sure, I'm a psephologist - but why would any Brexit voter or low-paid worker vote Corbyn- I mean this guy will just flood the country with even more low-skilled immigrants, refugees etc.. and bump up the foreign aid budget

Pretend Labour will not listen to the poor low pay working class, the bosses get rich on cheap low pay EU scab labour, and the Left just look the other way.

This is EXACTLY why the Labour Party has been "overtaken" by an avalanche of new members. The members, due to Jeremy Corbyn's grassroots ethos, now have a much greater say on how the party runs itself (for instance: the 2017 manifesto). Grassroots representation is now rife across the party and it is no longer a top-down oligarchical party, it is a democratically organised.
Those 'pretend' Labour that you refer to, would they be the ones at, for instance, Haringey that failed to represent the aims of the Labour Party as stipulated by Labour members?

Question is how many Brexit voting/ Low paid workers have you spoken too about Labour, Corbyn and the transformative manifesto pledges?
Or are these just assumptions based on "Facts" you've read in the Daily Mail.
Because I'm one, and I voted for him based on his past record of actually caring, sticking to his principles and showing some integrity. And I don't think once he's mentioned what you accuse him of, but please don't let me stand in the way of your fear of foreigners and helping poorer countries.
But more than that Corbyn has revitalised grassroots politics, he's encouraged huge numbers of ordinary working class people like myself, to actually get involved, rather than just sitting on the sidelines watching in horror or just moaning about it.

Whilst we are on the subject I never had Douglas Hurd down as a terrorist sympathiser.
