He does know a lot about that to be fair. Step 1 is to ensure he backs your opponent.
I think that is six in a row now, Angelos Epithemiou Snr is an election losing dynasty.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Well done mr Corbyn, I think there should be another leadership challenge as he's on a hatrick
Doing a decent job at cutting in from the left-wing so he is...
Guy needs to do a Cersei Lannister.
Reminds me of depay
His highlights from a lower level looked impressive but seems out of his depth at a higher level.
When he sticks out left his crosses can't connect with those in the centre and when he comes inside his efforts invariably end up in row z.
At best should be an impact sub from the bench
I love the idea of people joining the Lib Dems because Corbyn has made Labour unelectableSo lets say you're a labour voter, would you seriously consider voting tory perhaps cos you don't like corbyn?
That's like being a united fan but getting a season ticket for city cos they're better and you don't like mourinho.

I'm voting for lib dem too. I'm not cool voting for commies or capitalists/xenophobic people
I would imagine that they are centrists that are not fond of his politics.
And Owen Smith's policy platform was different?
I guess they could just be very pro-Trident voters.
Might as well just vote Conservative then given the Lib Dems have shown themselves willing to prop up a Conservative government
There are tweets saying Labour had 15,000 new members sign up in the hours after Corbyn's victory yesterday. It's only twitter though.
Lib Dem for me too, at the moment. Corbyn's lot have made it quite clear how much they despise the rest of Labour, although I would like the choice of a new centre-left party as well.
In a strange way that might suit lefties anyway. Given that they seem to have no interest in retaining so-called 'red tory/tory light' votes, never mind attracting the current centre or right voters needed to actually win a general election, their only chance of even a share of power might be some sort of coalition in a hung parliament.

I'll probably vote lib as they are the main challengers in my constituency... Is there many where labour and conservatives share the top two positions?
I doubt that there is many where it is such a stark choice between the two
As said I can't vote for neither commies nor xenophobic aholes
But his point is that you vote for the people happy to side with them.
Ultimately there's not much to choose either. Hopefully the new lib dem would be less of a doormat to the rule Brittania then cleggs one was
What a bunch of entryists.
I might vote for Corbyn depending on UKIP's chance of getting an MP elected in my constituency, though that seems unlikely at the moment.
I will consider the Lib Dems, however.

That's how any parliament works when there's no absolute majority though, isn't it?
What would a Corbyn party do if the next parliament were hung, just proudly stand aside, and settle for another five years in opposition?
I am a labour voter so why would i vote anyone else.?
Like Marching, hes a tory voter and voted for them despite the fact cameron led them out the eu, you have to admire that commitment?
Personally I see no value whatsoever in that kind of commitment. Why vote for a party that no longer represents you?
Well they have the closest match to my views than any other party have ever had. Only im even more left then Corbyn himself, almost horizontal.
I'm reserving judgement on Labour for a while. Left and centre need to get their acts together.
Scottish Labour now fallen to 16% in the latest poll.
Smith won the 18 - 24 vote. Guess the cock jokes work after all.
Labour MPs branded 'traitors' at conference and told they face deselection if they oppose Corbyn

That would depend on why someone disliked Corbyn, and what motivated your earlier support for either of the main parties. If there isn't a local grievance, the divide between centre-left and centre-right can be a bridgeable one. Is it so very implausible that floating voter might trust May and Hammond with the economy over Corbyn and McDonnell?
Should they have propped up Labour instead? Coalition government was something which the Lib Dems believed in strongly prior to the election, and the Tories were the only real option. Had they decided against an alliance with Cameron, the chances are that we'd have ended up a Conservative overall majority a few years sooner.

what does the ABC1/ C2DE stand for ?
Smith won 18-24 year olds 
I'm more puzzled by the +57 who did not vote Labour in 2015.
Who did they vote for?
If no one, should they really be choosing Labour's leader for us now?

probably greens or TUSC? Most of them probably thought that labour was too far to the right, but can get behind Corbyn.
thanks.
Then maybe they should have been voting in the Green or TUSC leadership elections instead of joining another party and voting in their's?
A bit harsh.
It's fathomable these folk were not members of any parties prior Corbyn being made leader, and felt the Labour Party was not consistent with their values. Let's be honest, the Greens before 2015 were more aligned with Corbyn's platform than Labour was at the time.
I see that, but if they felt the Greens were more consistent with their values then why not join them and vote for their leader?
The economy is a rather big single issue, one that has dominated the past two general elections. Labour must also overcome two hurdles if it is to regain the confidence of the public: first, the residual hangover of their incumbency during the global crash; second and more importantly, the present leadership's lack of properly costed policies.
It is a bit difficult to evaluate the data without knowing how many people fall into each category. The "did not vote for labour in 2015" demographic could be quite small.
It's about 20% of the vote, according to YouGov. Mainly Greens.
Also don't read too much in to the 18-24 voter breakdown, it's based on a subsample of about 50 people and the August YouGov which predicted the result exactly had that age group at 61-39 in Corbyn's favour.
