And They Think That This Guy Can Win the next Election?

In his leadership campaign against Jeremy Corbyn, Owen "Oily"^* Smith has now said that if he were elected Prime Minister, he would rejoin the Euro even if it meant completely unrestricted immigration and having to join the Euro zone.

Seriously?

While I understand that those who will be voting in the next leadership election, Labour members, are likely to be more supportive of EU membership than the general public, but when juxtaposed with joining the Euro Zone, which is a Berlin dominated basket case, has to be the stupidest campaign pitch since Damien Thorn ran on a platform of free Syphilis and the apocalypse.

H/t Atrios.

^*I am not making this up. It was his his actual nickname when he was a lobbyist for Pfizer.
