What is so bad about jeremy corbyn?

Ah right, I'll probably abstain then. For me, 2 kids supported by the state seems reasonable. If he wants to increase the cap at 3, that would be fine. But anymore, I probably won't vote.

It's difficult to assess how effective Jeremy Corbyn would be as leader in terms of attracting votes to Labour, because we aren't really hearing from the people he needs to be winning back.

All the people passing comment on the Corbyn debate seem to be in two camps:

1. Tories, the right-wing media and right-wing groups, who are going on about Corbyn being the loony left, proof Labour haven't moved on etc. Lets be honest none of these are going to vote Labour, whether it's Corbyn, Burnham or Tony Blair as leader.

2. Labour activists who actively support one of the other leadership contenders. They are posturing against Corbyn now but would probably vote Labour whoever was leader, even if its more reluctantly in some cases than others.

The issue is it's difficult to know what the public generally thinks about him, rather than what press commentators say the public should think about him!

My guess (and this is just a rough guess) would be that Corbyn will attract these types of voters:

- The Labour diehards, who will vote Labour whoever is leader
- A large chunk of Scottish voters that voted SNP last time because of their left-wing platform but are not that bothered about independence
- The youth vote that the Lib Dems picked up in 2005 and 2010
- A large chunk of Green vote (Greens might have to do some tactical alliances with Labour and not field candidates against them in some cases)

Will that be enough to win the next election...unclear, but it's not as outrageous as people think. They would win back a lot of Scotland and so the Conservatives would have to actively make headway in to existing Labour seats: which is not an easy thing especially as after 10 years the country might be starting to get tired of them and the full impact of cuts and austerity will be biting in those areas.

Society is screwed because of the viscous cycle. Nobody has money for taxes, so taxes are kept low. Low taxes results in no houses being built and therefore high house prices, high house prices means people have no money so can't pay taxes etc etc. Only a real Labour party committed obliterating our rent bills can save the state.

There's a real labour fixation with being in the centre ground, I don't think it'll make them relevant anymore, if jeremy corbyn's supportters are to go by, people don't want austerity anymore.

Jeremy Corbyn as you know is gaining a lot of traction for his talk about renationalisation, scrapping tution fees etc. For once, I've actually been enthused by a politician that speaks about the things I care about, who speaks his mind and doesn't dodge questions with scripted answers. However, within Labour it seems jeremy corbyn, would be a disaster, I can't understand why, the rest of the candidates are all tory lite and complete sell outs, it's like labour has completely forgotten who it represents, why is it so wrong for a politician to talk about the austerity myth, the growing gap between rich and poor, ever rising rents, young people ever owning their own home, the increase in child poverty, and providing welfare for the most vulnerable, can someone explain what is so wrong about his politics?

1.) He is a loud mouthed idiot. Yes he will have his supporters by offering the whole world for free but it never works out like that. The rich would end up paying 45% straight line tax with no threshold to fund his fantasies while him and McDonnell invest in a tax avoidance fund.

2.) Jeremy Corbyn has dodged questions and calls for An enquiry to anti semitism within the PLP

3. He describes our enemies such as Hamas and the IRA as friends while the majority of the British public despise the IRA he was meeting with them in Parliament (Gerry Adams) so we know under prime minister Corbyn we would be at grater terror threat.

4. He wanted to bring Calais jungle to Britain increasing our terror threat when ISIS stated they was going to exploit the migrant crisis to move terrorists around the continent as soon as civilians vacated some ISIS members would of followed them in to Europe. We have zero legal obligation to have them as per 1951 Geneva convention they must settle in the nearest safe country

Yes we know Jeremy Corbyn is a idiot you don't have to tell us.

No, I know you spew out a load of bs. Your username suits you.

Please tell me what part of my post isn't factually correct?

NOTHING IS WRONG WITH HIM. NOTHING. People are terrified of the idea of having a genuine, fair and smart yet non-traditional man in charge of Britain. He is exactly what we need, and the retaliation he receives from the media is so telling of the dire state of post-brexit England. If you care about equality and justice for everyone, not just those with tons of money, then you should care about Corbyn.
