When Jeremy first came to lead the Labour Party in 2015 I was quite happy to see a 'proper' Labour politician take up the reins, even if he is an anti-establishment person. He is after all a socialist keen on getting Labour back to what it used to be: a socialist Party for ordinary people working within a capitalist system.
However it soon became apparent he is not appealing to voters in general because of his weakness as an opposition leader and signs of incompetence were showing, probably because he went from a being a backbench MP to becoming a senior Party leader without serving time as a shadow head of department which is the usual progression.
To cut a long story short, over the years he hasn't leant how to be a statesman and shows no charisma in leadership. Basically a second-rate jumped-up politician. However, he has a personality which his followers admire and sticks consistently to his 1970s hard left political ideals.
I don't hate the man or even dislike him - he is what he is, but I will not be voting Labour while he is leader.
Completely agree.
The most annoying thing about Corbyn is that either he can't see how he is destroying Labours chances of winging an election - or he does, and simply doesn't care.
If Labour had chosen the right Miliband in the first place, I think we'd be looking at a very different political landscape at the moment.
I would probably go as far to say quite the opposite, among my millennials generation, his popularity is unquestionable and he can do no wrong.Maybe we don’t know enough about what it was like in the 70s/80s, but everyone praises him far too highly and likes to think Boris is a numpty.I would also say the media are far from central regarding it too.
I fall into the millennial bracket - I can’t stand Corbyn and all of his front bench.
It is nice to find another like minded millennial!
MOD COMMENT:Maybe, just maybe, if you posted like an adult and not a 12 year old, people would take you more seriously.
plenty of us out there. People are just shy to say it.
much like people are afraid/shy in saying what BS cultural Marxism/intersectional/woke-ness is.
Tories get the MP's to shortlist the two most suitable then the members can pick.
If Labour did same Corbyn would not have been selected.
Electorate pick MP's and they should pick or shortlist candidates.
Most electorate don't get to choose Union Leaders or want to be members of a given party.
Primark Lenin is a joke and, as a labour member, I'd never consider voting Labour again. Unless Tumnus buggers off back to Narnia.
The whole anti-Semitism is racisim-lite is disgusting.
Yes but look at who those people are, I mean really
So I give them the Full JRM treatment
