UK Labour party leadership selection is drawing closer to an end with leader position and bunch other senior positions up for grabs. Labour suffered quite a heavy defeat after the general election in 2010 with 2015 being just as bad.
Labour party suffered a defeat in ideology given the image of being incompetent for the last 5 years. Party did not have much time for soul searching to review the defeat. Candidates have to deal with many threats dealing with the Tories claim of fiscal incompetent being the most important. Problem is only one candidate is willing to tackle the claim of fiscal incompetent. Jeremy Corbyn is the only one willing to challenge the fiscal incompetent claim.
Candidates if they want to be taken serious they need to deal with the claim of fiscal incompetent. Impossible choice Corbyn or another candidate with more experience on the front bench.
Corbyn is asking the right questions but has the wrong answers. Other leadership candidates need to start asking the same questions but with better answers. Party should not seek to make the same mistakes as in 2010. Anybody with a vote is being faced with a impossible choice do we start to tackle the lies or go with the flow.
Which of the candidates can offer with Corbyn does come up with better answers and reach out to Tory swing voters.
Andy Burnham along with Yvette Cooper have started to see this and changed strategy. Now faced with a impossible choice does my first preference to towards Corbyn or Cooper.
