What argument do liberals and greens have for not voting for Corbyn?

The liberal democrats are left wing and the sort of policies they desire are what Jeremy Corbyn is offering

the absence of a state quickly degenerates into the purest form of capitalism, as does anything which strips back state power (assuming you don't mean 'oh yeah lets add lots of economic regulation but remove the minor state interference in social matters').

Capitalism did not exist for the vast majority of human existence, throughout which humanity lived in stateless societies. Capitalism is only a few centuries old and in that time the state has held the function of protecting, enforcing and/or managing the capitalist system. It is far from the natural order of things.

I disagree. Many older societies which seem not to be capitalist due to what actually happened were, since they contained the fundamental elements of non-mandatory distribution of wealth and freedom of contract.

Those are not, by any stretch, the fundamental elements of capitalism. 'Mandatory' wealth redistribution is a way for the state to address the inequalities caused by capitalism, or, as I put it, to 'manage' it. A purely anarchist or communist society would not have such measures, either. The key principals of capitalism are private ownership of land and the means of production, wage labour, and the free market. You could put in an argument for the existence of the free market, but the former two emerged relatively recently in the history of humanity.

What if I told you we could have a free market without having capitalism?

He is everything you guys want. He is left wing and supports a left wing system of governence. Why would you not vote for him. He voices the same concerns as you people?

I'll continue to vote SNP. Labour have proven time and time again (especially in Scotland) to say that they will do one thing then do the complete opposite once they get into power. Corbyn seems like a step in the right direction but he is seriously going to have to prove his words before he will win back my vote and I assume the votes of my fellow SNP voters.

I agree with Corbyn on very little, but I respect him a lot. Yes, he's very left wing (I'm a tory), yes, he's very controversial, but there's been no signs of his views changing in the last 30 years in order for him to gain power. 30 years ago, he got into office on a set of principles and last year he got to leadership on those same principles. I think it's disgraceful the lack of respect he's got, though I do disagree with him. So to say that he has to "prove his words", just look at his record over the last 30 years.

I mean labour as a whole, not just their leader. Corbyn is a step in the right direction but he can spout anything and it wont mean anything if he doesnt get the "new labour" right wing under control. Although I must admit I have witnessed him taking steps in that direction, its too early too fully make up my mind for the next UK election yet, pretty much set on who im voting for during the next Scottish election though.

The New Labour "right wing" is still left wing. The support capitalism as much as your scot nats do.

Scottish National Party MPs don't abstain from voting against tory cuts
Scottish National Party MPs don't vote for extreme military action
Scottish National Party does not support the actions of war criminals
Scottish National Party MPs do not vote to maintain nuclear weapons in areas against the will of the local electorate.
Scottish National Party is currently the only party pushing for democratic reform in the UK

I don't fully agree with the SNP, they are by no means perfect and their reactionary policies in Holyrood are a blight on Scotland but until labour makes some serious changes I will continue voting for them as I still believe they are the lesser evil.

In all honesty if it wasn't for their party being in shambles after the previous coalition I would vote Lib Dem. I support libertarian freedoms before left wing economics. But as it stands at the moment a vote for Lib Dem is a wasted vote, especially up here.

You should vote Tory. Ruth Davidson is a brilliant Tory and one of my favourites in all honesty.

You taking the mick?

Not at all, her policy on lowering business rates to raise the minimum wage was a very sensible, pragmatic and one-nation policy. One-nationism is about the UK, and all of its inhabitants working together.
