Unless you take to heart what I said:
Cynics had a 50/50 chance in this instance.
It's difficult to continue the conversation. I talked about gnomic tyranny and remain convinced that may be one of the problems. Short sharp truth bomb, which essentially is meaningless unless you take it apart and delve into it. I have had anarchists point it out that one never had a chance. Fine, discuss. What happened later and what could have happened later could be analysed. We, the leftists associated with the LP, at that time, thought it worth going for it (I dropped a couple of names to strengthen the notion that it was a serious sentiment, at the time). Whether Corbyn was spineless and ready to betray his comrades later and how this is portrayed by some, to me, it's irrelevant. Anyway, I know you have your own problems with XP and such. We probably disagree on few bits. It just didn't work out. In the 60s it may have worked imo.
