Do you think Diana Abbott would make a good leader of the Labour party if she won?

Would you vote for her if she became the new leader of the Labour party?|||No, because she has neither the intellectual stature nor the charisma.





She is just a careerist who has managed to get ahead on the strength of being a black woman; as if that would be a legal requisite for holding power.





Admittedly, there are an awful lot of white middle aged men who are just as inept as Ms Abbott (and I wouldn't support their candidacy either). But two wrongs don't make a right.|||absolutely not.she is nothing but an unprincipled hypocrite. criticised blair and harman for sending their children to selective state schools,it then transpires she paid for her own child's private education(拢10,000 a year),bangs on about racism and then comes out with comments about finnish nurses being "blue eyed blonde's" who have never seen black patients,having to apologise to the house of commons after being investigated by the committee on standards and privileges because of undeclared earnings.on reflection i have just realised she actually ticks all the right boxes to be leader of a political party, unfortunately for her that party is not the labour party.!|||Only if she stands by her left wing principles. The trouble is, that when people get elected to power, they are often persuaded to leave their principles behind. The only person in modern times who didn't was Michael Foot, and he was constantly under pressure from employers and the press to do so.|||Yes I most certainly would vote for Diane Abbott for leader of the Labour Party. I think of Diane as a true member of the Working Class and Socialist Movement and of and for the People etc. She has much support both in her own constituency, in the Parliamentary Labour Party, as well as in the wider London Community of the Common people to which I belong.





There is much to be said for Diane Abbott, a well presented person who is at ease in the company of others and able to get the Socialist message across to her audience.





My thinking is that Diane Abbott will help persuade many now on the edge of the Labour Movement, to come on in and join us.





I think it was Karl Marx who insisted that there could only be political change when women came to the fore in politics. Not sure of his exact words, but something along those lines.





On the issue of immigration, Diane Abbott is in the forefront of the argument supporting the people, who are not opposed to immigration, but who wish to do something at lest to ensure that the inflow of people from our British Commonwealth is given a top priority.





The Americans operate a fair immigration policy which is not based upon race. We here in UK should follow their lead in this matter.





And like our dear Bo-Jo (the Tory mayor of London, the poor darling), I am entirely in favour of an amnesty for the many hundreds of thousands (and more) of so called illegal immigrants, many of whom so dearly wish to belong here and who already contribute much to our glorious city and the nation as a whole.

I think Diane Abbott is very astute, especially on the way in which immigration and immigrants are being blamed for Labour's failure in the polls. It is an extremely dangerous road down which to go, to blame the Common People, who just happen to be immigrants.





The Working Class must join together and march in solidarity towards the Celestial City to create a Socialist Britain for the benefit of all of the people.





The Working Class of London turned out in their millions to vote Labour at the 6th May General Election. They upgraded their total support for Labour by actually increasing their vote in support of their leaders. It is just a pity that this could not have been done in the wider national community of the Workers of Britain as a whole.





We are told that rasing the tax threashold for Workers in the Lower Paid Sector is somehow a Liberal/Democrat policy, when in fact it is a Socialist and Labour Party Policy and has been for many generations. We are told by the Osborne person, that the burden of personal taxation will 'slowly' be lifted from the shoulders of the people at the so-called lower end of the pay scale.





Let me just outline it like this. If I do not clean your office Mr Osborne person, soon you will be wallowing in your own filth. It is I and my fellow Workers who make it possible for you to be a Toff. We comb your hair, cut your toe nails and generally clean up after you, yet you and your kind continue to snear at us and take spiteful action against us while you enjoy a luxury life-style at our expense.








SOCIALIST ABOLITIONIST





And yes, Comrades, there are still yet 27 million slaves held world wide and while one of us is a slave, none of us is free.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE - A NEW DAWN AWAITS|||She would be the first woman leading the sexist Labour party that would be a good thing, but I don't think she will get in. The polls show the public like her but her own MPs didn't vote for her at all. So it going to be a David Millband leadership instead.|||Not a chance. She belongs to the "Don't do as I do. Do as I say you should do" school of political argument. Having said that: Who cares? Labour aren't going to be in power for another decade, and considering the MESS they've left the nation in that's quite right too!|||A female black version of Tony Blair i.e. the false smile, reneging on socialist values, a millionaire in her own right, a hypocrite of the first order. In fact a complete facsimile of Blair himself. Do we want another Blair? I do not think so!


EDIT%26gt; L - you are 100% correct.|||Well being she is brain dead and the labour party waiting to be interned the answer is yes.|||A racist leader of the labour party would get about the same share of the vote as the BNP..|||I wouldn't be happy, prefer Edd or David (either). Would still vote Labour though...what we have at the moment is ridiculous!|||She maybe a lovely person but she isn't a leader.|||The Conservatives do, they would be in guaranteed the next election.|||She is providing a voice for the Black Britons in British society is all....!
