Any such move would be seen as an act of desperation and probably backfire imo. You can't spend 4 years arguing for a radical set of policies and direction for the country and then on the eve of the poll do a face-swap because the public are not convinced by your arguments.

I'm a floating voter. I believe that the Labour Party just promised too much to too many demographics to be believable. I also believe that the last 18 months of indecision on Brexit will cost them. It's all a great pity but they seem to have played the whole shebang hopelessly wrong. Of course, there may be a miracle!
...I don’t know what his strategy would be, but it can’t be any worst than this bumbler. David Milliband is as sharp as a tack, voters would’ve taken to him or Andy Burnham in charge. Statesmanlike, sincere and smart. Like it or not, Corbyn is unpopular outside of voters who will vote Labour anyway.

The problem is, Miliband and Burnham would have faced the exact same struggle. Needing votes from Labour leave areas with no strategy to persuade these people to stay red. You describe their character as statesmanlike, sincere and smart; I wonder if those would be the adjectives that spring to mind after 5 years of relentless attacks from the media.
People who would have you believe Labour that winning this election by a landslide was as easy as getting a slick new leader with New Labour policies are going to get a nasty shock in 5 years time if the party follows that course.
Just no.
....I remember David Milliband when Foreign Secretary being interviewed by Sky’s Middle East expert (Marshall?). The interviewer is a very smart lad, he’s now an independent, he asked Milliband a question and he was totally aware of his brief. Milliband went into real detail, down to naming the street where the incident happened. Marshall responded with a respectful thank-you, because in his response Milliband had corrected part of the detail in Marshalls question. Subtle and classy.
Milliband is on a different level to Corbyn. Corbyn is a glorified shop steward.
Genuinely is disgusting though.

Yep.
free internet
free childcare
free University
WASPI refunds
bumper public sector payrises
nationalisation of key industries
all "funded by the rich" (who of course are too stupid to move their money elsewhere). The reality is that it would be funded by the public via a huge expansion of public debt, which would turn Britian into the next Greece or Argentina. And don't forget he wants to eventually cut the working week to 30hrs also LOL
It's every bit as extreme as Labour's 1983 manifesto, and so far removed from the world we live in.
We just can't get the Kings and Queens we need!
Amazing that this brilliant system is not driven at all by market demand but by the things that Boris Johnson thinks sound impressive. 'we can't recruit/retain the nurses/doctors we need but we've got '40000' oven ready prima ballerinas ready to go.

I agree that it´s very far removed from the world we live in. I think that´s the point though, to try and change it.
Rich, powerful people who control the media tell you none of these things are possible, but they also thought Brexit was a great idea for the country. How long before they have the balls to say that NHS isn´t possible? We all know it´s sliding that way.
Didn't you hear we are the 5th biggest economy in the world and survived two world wars. This negativity needs to stop, we can manage this government spending easily with a bit of hard work.
