A cause, not just a party.
Delighted that Corbyn is slowly transforming the Labour Party from a mere election-losing-machine into a CAUSE and a MOVEMENT. What the SNP did for Scotland, Corbyn is doing for the entire UK.
Of course the cause is far bigger than one person. It doesn't matter if Corbyn never gets to be Prime Minister. The important thing is that the DISCOURSE will have changed. We have already seen Burnham moving leftwards. Cooper will follow! (Kendall is off-stage right. It's a pity that the two female candidates are so right-wing and so scheming. Why does Kendall keep winking at the camera? Corbyn has more sex appeal I hear, and I haven't seen him wink once!)
Ideas for Corbyn (1): a "Ministry of Ideas"
Corbyn's 'Ministry if Ideas' should be open for business from Day 1. It's aim is to tap into the inventive talent of everybody in the country. If you see a problem and you have an idea of how to fix it, then tell the MinOfIdeas. And keep chasing them till they tell you what can be done with it. Some ideas will work; Others will not. But if people are REALLY listened to, everyone will start thinking inventively and positively.
Ideas for Corbyn (2): an all-contenders meeting NOW!
The day after being elected (or maybe before), Corbyn should invite Burnham, Cooper and Kendall to a meeting to discuss the future of the Party. Maybe Umuna, Millibubble(s) and others should be invited too. This would strengthen Corbyn's position in the party, although it will not rectify it completely. There is a big mismatch now between the PLP and the party.
