If it's tomorrow, JC wins.

If it's in 6 months, I wouldn't trust him to be able to disavow Hamas and show support for Ukraine, so I take Truss.

Young people don't vote. They can't be bothered to get up before the polls close at 10pm, after a night out, and they still think their mum ought to do it for them. The lettuce would win, as Husker indicated.

Loads of young people vote. Momentum and co vote. More to the point they would also work all night and the following day to get the vote out

Demanding a ceasefire and political talks would play way better with the elecorate than it used to. Israel have burned through their support like a wildfire.

JC might do very well from this.

Momentum (if it even still exists) is a fringe group. And it isn't mostly young people who go round getting the vote out, which is just as well because most voters wouldn't relate to them. And Labour's youth vote actually declined under Corbyn -- it did in '17, compared to the previous GE, even at the height of the 'Oh Jeremy Corbyn' thing when less-well-informed Remainers still thought he was Remain, and it did even further in '19, after his pro-Putin reaction to the Salisbury poisonings and his gradual outing as a Left Leaver. Photos of Corbynite meetings at the time always looked as if the plaster had fallen off the ceiling, because everyone had white hair, because they were basically elderly middle-class tankies wanting to re-live their college days.

yeah ok. we can do better has best part of 500k folowers. Maybe you dont call them young but i'm an old git and in political reality they are. They are involved, active and would mobalise in hours if this bizarre hypothetical was a reality. Your attacks on the left will still be sleeping or asking for their tea. I'd take the bizarre hypothetical in an instant.

I accept saying 'momentum' was an error. Interesting they are looking at ending their reliance on being a labour member so that they can appeal to left wing voters again.
