What's important for Labour is inspiring at least a plurality of voters to vote for them, not attract a small proportion of voters that are already converts to political pop concerts. Rallies don't win elections.

It seems unlikely that everyone attending the rallies is already an established labour voter. That would be a little odd given that we haven't generally seen that sort of turnout. Further, engaging more voters is good because they provide a vehicle whereby the labour message can be spread.

Which is apt. Witnessing him compel Green voters to speak in tongues won't make him a better Labour Party leader.

I think he would make a good leader for the PLP. I think a lot of them would probably go along with beating the tories on authoritarianism.

Irons argued that “it’s not incest between men” because “incest is there to protect us from inbreeding, but men don’t breed,” and wondered whether same-sex marriage might allow fathers to pass on their estates to their sons without being taxed.
