Comparing her rallies with Corbyn's would have been hysterical. Same for May's, too. The candidate who won the Tory leadership election would have got about a quarter as many votes as the candidate who lost the Labour one, if that. It would have been a hoot. And Arron Bans yesterday, mentioning that Ukip had picked up a thousand members. A thousand! There are individual CLPs that have picked up two or three times that, sometimes more. So much for a party more right wing than the Tories and waiting to be sprung into life by the referendum result. A thousand people!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-64638798478117287302016-07-24T18:37:21.112+01:002016-07-24T18:37:21.112+01:00Naive beyond words.
