So Gordon Brown's decided to weigh into the ring now, saying Labour should be electable?

Obvious point (for me) is that the reason why Labour lost under his watch and in 2015 was because Labour just weren't electable!

I suppose the obvious thing to ask is...is Jeremy Corbyn electable? By that I mean will Joe Blogs (and Mrs Blogs of course) vote for him at the next election, as so many voters seem to vote for a person rather than a party.
I voted for Blair when he first became leader as I got drawn in by his 'sincerity', but never got tempted again.

Same here, but I'll vote for Jeremy as I truly believe that Labour need to ditch the toxic legacy of blair and the red tory moniker. With the other 3 that's pretty much all we're going to get, they already showed their colours during the Welfare bill by abstaining, and that is something people don't forget. What blair, brown etc don't seem to realise is that Labour right now are unelectable (partly) because people don't see them as any form of opposition or alternative. At least with Corbyn he's offering that, even if it is a step backwards,sometimes that's what's needed in order to get back going forward on the right track.
