Our Head of Strategy, Mo Metcalf-Fisher published an article on Conservative Home today -‘Whoever wins the leadership, Labour faces a crisis’
Let’s be honest, we’re all enjoying the Labour leadership race. Labour are finally being challenged internally about what it is the party stands for in the modern era. If polling is anything to go by, then left-wing firebrand Jeremy Corbyn may actually be in with a chance of winning the contest.
Corbyn supporters believe that while they may lose Blairites from the party in droves, they’ll be able to engage ‘millions’ of socialists who have spent years flirting with backroom communist splinter groups. They also peddle the argument that many working class voters will be able to re-connect with the old-labourite rhetoric of his campaign, and come back from either voting UKIP or abstaining.
