Corbyn as PM?

[woohoo]

Just out of interest what do you think would be the positives and negatives of Corbyn becoming Prime Minister.

Serious question, honest.

[scooterscot]

Positives

1) The housing market would crash. Housing might actually for once be affordable for the medium earner.
2) I can close my 'short' position on the housing market.
3) Nationalisation of critical infrastructure. Lets face it, Corbyn hates shareholders. No really, he's all out nuke them from orbit. LSE will crash overnight when he begins nationalising power generation, rail, water utilities, etc

Negatives

1) UK is going to be a tulip-hole of a place to live whilst he's in office.
2) Those with debt will suddenly find themselves with punishing interest rates
3) (1) but 10-15 years later the worst of the damage should be over.

Positives

- No Tory government
- ERG and the nicotine stained frog will have meltdowns

Negatives

- We'll see more of Abbott on tv

Corbyn and most of his fellow travellers have honed their world-view in the comfort of civil service ease without a whiff of the responsibilities of office.

Should they gain power they are in for a heart attack - just look at how May's face has been melting since she gained office.

Lizzie should dissolve parliament and rule absolutely, the politicians had a nice run but they clearly aren't up to it anymore.

Diane Abbott says, "we should have a fourth referendum, umm third, no, no its the second, yes the second or third."

And anyone with a pension would be screwed as they rely on the dividends these companies pay out to live in the future, but then again do marxists every retire or are we just worked into the grave?

To be fair, El Gordo fecked pensions good and proper already on behalf of Labour and this is what drove people to invest in property (BTLs) rather than save into a pension.

Which begs the question, why should national security be sacrificed to pay for pensioners? National infrastructure should never have been privatised in the first place.
