WITH the re-election of Jeremy Corbyn, many are asking if the Labour Party are now heading for the wilderness?

Many are suggesting that Labour will be out of power for at least 10 years or more. Could it be the case that the party are heading for catastrophic defeat to the Tories at the next General Election.

Another hammer blow is that Labour has sunk to its lowest poll ratings in seven years, now trailing 15 points behind the Tories. Many people think that his proposed cuts to defence and his immigration policies are deeply unpopular.

He has the right values for the job including honesty and integrity, but does not come across as a natural leader. He is just not strong enough to get his party back in order and reunite the deep divisions within it.

He would also have to work extremely hard to win over left-wing voters from the Greens, Plaid Cymru and the SNP.

But the question is can he win over middle England to get into number 10?

Could the party also be facing a mass exodus of Labour MPs?

All this plus and more sadly means that a landslide is inevitable for the Tories and for Labour, goodbye to number 10.
