Jeremy Corbyn - Continuing Saga of the Labour Party Leader

It will lead to people who haven't voted equally voting to keep him out.
Some of his policies are drastically at odds with most people. I have no idea what he does really think about the Falklands but if he does want to share them with Argentina that alone could cost him the election let alone anything else.

The foreign policy stuff may or may not be important. On a more basic level, a cornerstone of his policy is printing money- you can call it 'People's QE', you can call it whatever you like. It is possible that for the first time in history, this won't lead to fiscal ruin but history does tend to suggest that it does. If you have an asset- a house, a pension- anything really- a key and public policy threatens to render that valueless, to say nothing of your job or other technicalities. I'd suggest that there are enough Labour supporters who might be concerned by this to be an issue, let alone Conservative ones.

Well he might get the youth of today voting for him. They always seem to love dinosaurs.

Oooooh I do hope so - with their HQ in an extinct volcano on the outskirts of Macclesfield. It would make everything so much more exciting.

End Balls as Odd-Job.....

There's a movie in there somewhere....

his proposed policies
Scrapping trident - I fully agree
Increasing the top rate of taxation- 100% agree
Talking to hitherto known as terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah.Agreed but does that include talking to a terrorist government such as the current Israeli one? If he is going to talk to one side then he must be prepared to talk to the other.The exception is ISIL, they need to be removed
Scrapping tuition fees -Disagree, students should expect to pay something towards their higher education, but the fees need to be markedly reduced
Oppose bombing Syria- sadly disagree for the above reason
Renationalisation of railways- totally, totally agree, but don't stop there grab the utilities back as well
Increase public expenditure  and stop cut backs - Yup people's  QE should cover that
Private rent controls again agreed, but a massive increase in social housing would do that anyway.
Immigration -fine by me, except for economic migrants from outside the EU
Getting rid of the monarchy - only if its the will of the people.If it isn't then certainly reform it so it's more like a Scandinavian one with lower profile
