Corbyn may win. I think if he did it would be good because if he did it might wake this country up. He'd not be shy of having a right go at Cameron and Osborne without apology and that is what is required. None of this "yet but" crap from the other candidates. BUT having started that debate he'd be replaced before 2020.

"All the MPs"?
So far I've heard of two un-named MPs

Corbyn has already suggested that whoever wins, they should be comprehensive review in 2018. One thing is certain: Corbyn is standing for the party and people, not for any self-promotion

He has far too many opinions to ever be a serious challenge to The Tories.
The Labour Party have been a crushing disappointment for so long now I can't identify with them anymore in any way. This country needs PR and parties like the greens and others - maybe even a real socialist party - should have a say in how this country is run.

The Labour Party could learn from Bernie Sanders in the US. At the moment they're nothing other than a group of wannabee Blairites and intellectual lightweights.

I reckon the person who is "bricking it" the most is probably Corbyn. I dont think he entered the race with any thought of winning it and would probably hate it if he gets the job. He's a natural maverick, not a leader.
