What do you think of Jacob Rees-Mogg?

There was a Peston on Sunday around this time last year (or before Article 50 was triggered anyway) in which McDonald basically admitted that he supported Brexit but that they could not leave and have a 'Tory' (presumably free market rather than protectionist ect..) Brexit. Corbyn is likely the same.

You weren't. I did not say that those on the right set out to screw over poor people. But their actions, such as cutting benefits and tax credits often have that effect.

I also saw JRM said that it was a great thing that there are food banks because it shows peoples' generosity. That hardly strikes me as being 'in touch'. Any society in which people have to rely on charities to afford to eat, is one which has failed to look after its people. Personally I don't think mothers queuing outside foodbanks for emergency food to have to feed their kids, to be a great thing.

Largely because we took an issue with several layers and several parts and expected everyone to take a binary position on it. I was unsure about the EU. There were bits I liked and disliked. I'm guessing Corbyn was the same, Yes he disliked large bits of it, but that doesn't necessarily mean he thought the alternative was better.

He definitely did not 'actively sabotage' the remain campaign. Accuse him of not campaigning that hard, fine, but that's about it. His position was probably along the lines of 'the EU has several problems and urgently needs reform but on balance we're better off in'.

I mean, he hasn't. The political right often complain that the left doesn't let them debate their opinion. Yet if someone on the left criticises free market capitalism, they get called a Marxist/extremist and if they so much as question British foreign policy, they get called a terrorist sympathiser. You can't moan about people not respecting your right to hold an opinion if you try to make out that anyone who holds a different opinion to yourself is bad or dangerous.

You can't really complain about authoritarianism while yearning for a social conservative who wants to tell people how to live their lives and what they can do with their own bodies and relationships.

But what actual policies do you expect him to introduce? Cameron was a free marketeer, how would Mogg be different?

Those who support him seem really vague on what they think or even expect him to actually do were he to become leader.

Of course you say that. Think that. Who admits to being narrow minded, even to themselves?

This is hardly complicated stuff. No-one has to agree with you (or me, or anyone else) on everything, and if they don't it doesn't make them a piece of sh it.

Who earth are you to think you know all the answers?? To judge others?

Lol okay time you stepped outside and got off the internet. This isn't that deep.

lol JRM and corbyn are both awful, although I am left wing and so if pushed would still rather corbyn. They are both frankly awful candidates for PM and would probably be more incompetent than Theresa.

why don't you like corbyn??

Why ever not?

idk he seems like a pretty good guy

that's fine we all have different opinions. For me I don't think he's effective and lacks charisma. He strains too hard to be "normal" and "working class" when he is the complete opposite. He is utterly vapid and no appearance on goggle box is going to mask that. This meticulously cultivated persona alongside his complacency (eg his frankly shocking lack of action during the brexit vote) make for an unelectable politician. As I have my reasons for not being a fan, I'm sure you have your reasons for the contrary. I so miss the days of Tony Benn.

I don't want to argue with you, i have just heard people saying that they don't like him and wanted to know exactly why so I could make a proper decision about him.

He's a man who I hope is not an MP after the next General Election.
