Objective opinion of Jeremy Corbyn?

For a long time now people have said that all politicians are the same, Labour isn't really any different from Conservative, all MPs trot out the party line, say what they think people want to hear, are "dodgy" etc etc.

Corbyn has some major plus points, whether or not you happen to agree with his politics. He honestly believes what he says - he doesn't change his view according to the party position or what the "acceptable opinion" might be. He has been an MP for over 30 years, and his views have always been consistent.

He is not a career politician - he wouldnt have even stood for leadership had he not been asked to. Corbyn has been elected as MP in 7 consecutive elections, so the people of his constituency must think he's doing something right.....

He plays a straight game - he doesn't fiddle expenses, he doesn't take advantage of public money to buy himself a new fishpond or any of the other ludicrous things other MPs have done over the years.

He isn't glamorous or keen to come over as a media-friendly soundbite man - he is a problem solver, there to make improvements.

He isn't a "rabble rouser" - he is actually a very mildly spoken, but very clear and articulate speaker to doesn't engage in vocal histrionics to make a point, because he doesn't have to.

Compare that to airbrushed Cameron and his "U turn every half an hour" and you can see why he is proving to be popular. I might not agree with everything Corbyn says, but at least I can listen to him, and come way thinking "I dont agree, but I understand why he said it".

Of course, it may be that in 2010 nobody wants to vote for him - and if thats the case, fair enough. But at least the choice is there. There is no point in having the Labour Party if it isn't any different to the Conservative Party. You may as well just have the Conservative Party then!

Hmm it's a tough one. On the one hand he's the polar opposite of Cameron, on the other hand he's taking the Labour party back to the 1980's. Running the risks of non stop 'strikes'.. I hate the conservative party, but I'm not sure I'm ready to support a 'socialist' Labour party again.

I think Britons are getting sick of David Cameron, Cameron is the British version of Obama, everyone is getting tired of him and his policies

He would be great from an economic POV for the low wage, poor, benefits claimers...etc but the Labour party relies on those not needing them to still vote for them.

And altruism appears to be on the decline.

JEREMY CORBYN IS A UTTER TOSSER AND TOTAL WASTE OF SPACE
