So what do we think of the new Labour party leader??

One word.............unbelievable!!!

 

I am so pleased that Jeremy Corbyn has won the Labour leadership. Finally Labour is back to being a left-wing political party and not a diluted version of the Tory party. He is like a breath of fresh air and has galvanised many people into becoming interested in politics again.

He wants to combat austerity - addressing the "grotesque levels of inequality in our society" He is not arrogant and his sincerity is palpable.

Although I probably dont agree with much of his ideas, I must admit I quite like the bloke.
He does appear to be a bit different from the manufactured bunch we have at the moment, although I have got to say, I dont think that in itself is enough to make me want to vote Labour.

 

I think he is living in a dream world, but each to his own!!!

 

Admittedly he wants to bring about sweeping changes. Of course he will be severely criticised by the opposing parties (who may be worried about his surprising and sudden popularity) but it remains to be seen how this will all pan out. Creating money to invest in housing seems controversial but I see that he has the backing/endorsement of a number of prominent economists.

His aim to combat austerity is very popular because this issue is affecting so many people currently. I am glad that he wants to stop NHS from being privatised. The thought of considering profit in weighing up someone's future healthplan is a very worrying situation.

 

At least he isn't interested at the moment in robbing the poor to ,make the rich richer

 

I would vote for any one that can run the world country properley and fair, yes there will be some things i agree with and some i will diagree with but we have to give and take a bit on both sides

 

I love him and hope he does a great job of destroying the party!

 

@wiseowl Oh go on, you know you want to!!!!

 

But, without going into details/opinions, who thinks it's just made politics a whole load more interesting?

 

Well he's got an allotment so he can't be that bad

 

Rather than random cherry picking what he plans to do...here is a comprehensive outline of his programme for government
