Update in France:
If you know me, you would know that I'm on the center-left of the political spectrum. When it comes to France, it seems none of the leftist candidates even have a shot at winning. So, if I had a say, I would vote for Emmanuel Macron. However, if it was Fillon who went on to the second round, I would vote for him, because Marine Le Pen is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Okay, now I'm no longer a fan of Jeremy Corbyn. He's proclaiming victory all the while his party lost a seat that it held since 1935. Embarrassing.
I still like Jeremy Corbyn, but I'm willing to concede that his leadership just isn't working and whilst I agree with most of what he writes and says, I can't see any of what he's doing to turn the Labour party around. It saddens me, because I'm not aware of an alternative candidate who can offer the same to the left of the party, but who could win over the centreground. I fear the party is bound for either collapse or, almost worse, being reformed into the image of Blair once more.
 Why must everything slip to the right and those who try to pull things leftwards just keep losing credibility or popularity? We live in a very weird and disturbing time.

I fear the party is bound for either collapse or, almost worse, being reformed into the image of Blair once more. Yeah, he's just too far to the left. Blair was a problem because he was center-right like Hillary Clinton. That's why I didn't vote for her. I'm on the center-left and those who claim to be centrist are either unauthentic or are actually center-right. Here in the United States, the Democratic Party is in the same position as the Labour Party, except we are a few years before you, being at the crossroads. On Saturday, the party is going to decide its next chairman or woman. Right now, it's either going to be Tom Perez or Keith Ellison. Up until recently, I supported Ellison, but seeing where the Labour Party went, I don't want that to happen to my party. However, the Democratic Party needs to be reclaimed by the left. Those who are center-right have controlled the party ever since Bill Clinton was President. That needs to change. If we are center-left, we'll be just fine.
I world class myself as more left than centre, which is part of why Corbyn appealed to me so much (that and he has shown more genuine compassion to those of public struggling with various difficulties than any other politician largely). I'd argue the Blairite vision was still centre left, but so wedded to spin and neo-liberal economics as to undermine any social progress they made.
Seeing Blair and Mandleson speaking out against Brexit recently made me shudder, because they represent all that was bad about the EU, and their policies and actions helped create the situation that led to the Leave vote... If ever there was a man who could unite the country against Brexit, it isn't Tony Blair...

Well, the results are in for the chairmanship election of the Democratic National Committee. Tom Perez, the former Secretary of Labor under Barack Obama and supporter of Hillary Clinton, is the chairman. Keith Ellison, Congressman and supporter of Bernie Sanders, has been appointed as the deputy chairman by Perez. We will find out on 6 November 2018 and 3 November 2020 (definitively) whether this was the right decision.
