Further, under his leadership, the labour party is now predicted to have the support of somewhere between 33% and 39% of the voting public. Given the aforementioned factors, one can only assume that it is this labour party's policies, developed under JC's leadership, that are responsible for this level of support.
In my mind, there is not any doubt that the Tory party will win this election. Strategically, this will actually be the best outcome. I feel that the effects of austerity have not yet hit really hard, so another five years of a Tory government are probably what is needed for the voting public to be able to really differentiate between true Tory and true Labour idealogies.
I think it is the election in five year's time when the voting public will really decide what sort of a society they wish to be part of. Whilst this is unfortunate for JC personally, I believe he will leave a positive, long-term legacy as the person who steered the labour party back to its roots and being a labour movement for the working person.
Just my opinion of course and many others will no doubt have alternate views.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen .
It is a fine morning here in Suffolk - the sun is out, sky is absolutely clear, birds are tweeting in the garden and Percy the pheasant is sitting in his usual place in the garden making his usual early morning sounds to greet us downstairs. On top of all that, I have the day off work to play with model airplane engines. It's going to be a fine day!
Ref my post above, I see that something interesting is also happening in politics this morning.
