Explained: How to win the Labour leadership

After the worst election defeat in nearly 100 years, Labour faces a battle over the direction of the party. We asked the public to tell us what they think makes the perfect Labour leader.

Whoever wins will ensure that Boris will stay on as PM for decades to come.

[psychominded]

Simple, just go against the working class... And hate on them with a passion.

[jnmdrake]

It takes three weeks to campaign for a general election and three months for one political party. Even party supporters may well get bored out of their minds and fed up with the whole process.

[Fightobserver]

I voted labour all my life. Til Corbyn! Now I hear he possibly getting into shadow cabinet if certain someone wins!! Unbelievable. Just can't get my head round why. He took labour backwards 30yrs. Shocking

[dionist]

Lisa Nandy. Northern born and bred, female, moderate, critic of Corbyn and wanted to respect the referendum result. Different to most of the Labour leadership right now.

[bobbymozza]

Being drawn out for months, to get as much publicity as possible.
Just f*cking choose one already.

[godspeedmax]

Corbyn is probably the worst politician I have ever seen. When I watch him in action I start to hate Pelosi and Schiff less

[trevorrobinson]

Who care they're all rubbish. Labour are totally clueless.

[Kenyon]

why am i on here when i'm conservative... lol

[Nemesis_]

One looks like a politician, the other two look like a teachers assistant and a bored housewife....

I’ve just watched Sophy Ridge doing a live trailer for the labour debate. I lost count of the amount of. Er s she said. Goodness knows how she’ll handle the debate.

[knightstemplar]

Perfect labour candidate.
There isn’t one

[satyamsaurabh]

Side by Islamists and interfere in other country's affairs

[KevSmith-xifm]

They are all a laughing stock and the sad fact is they don't realise 🤣🤣

[derekwhyle]

Only the Labour Party could design a process that takes so long and proves to the public how divided the party is. Last one out turn the lights off

[owen]

Labour can't decide whether they're a centre-Left party or a Socialist Party.

[davidskeeterskeeter]

Pip, , Squeek, , and Wilfred, ! 😂😂😂. why do they even bother?? 🤔🤔

[allwelsh]

Ridge asked the audience if they thought Tony Blair was a good leader and the majority said yes. Ridge said the audience was divided!

[mauritiusindependentparty]

Unless Labour shifts its position to the centre-left, We bye-bye to winning the next election

[Greg-flcb]

3 'Corbyinte Remainers!" Each of them think that they can win all of the seats back that they lost with "More of the same!" Looks like the Tories are in for the long haul!
