It's not about Corbyn for you though is it. You were very against the Labour party 2 years ago when he was nowhere near.
From what I can tell you voted for Cameron and Osborn who had a hand in a magazine that said Mandela should be hanged so for you to have a go for at Corbyn for something similar is extremely hypocritical.
Fair enough but given the choice of the only two parties likely to gain power it's clear that you wouldn't vote labour and not due to Corbyn. I don't see where the hostility comes from.I'm sorry to disappoint you old chum but I voted Green and will do so at the forthcoming election as well
Hilary Benn would have some attraction for a few who vote conservative but would have little to no attraction to anybody slightly to the left or the young. He's exactly the sort of careerist self interested politician that people are sick of.Labours best chance imo is Hillary Benn but the stupidly powerful unions would never allow it.

Bobby Sands MP - allowed to die by Thatcher.
The best recruiting officer the IRA ever had.
Edit: oh yeah, she labelled Mandela a terrorist

I think he'd send a lot of the now Labour voters to the greens. My seat would 100% go green or Lib Dem if he was leader.The point with Benn is that he's electable. You need tiise wavering Tory voters if Labour are ever to come back.

But it's not hard left is it. As mentioned before the vast majority of Corbyn's policies are standard social democrat policies that that the public agrees with, it's just the salesmen that they don't like. Benn would manoeuvre the party to the right, leaving no left leaning (not hard left) alternative that just guarantees more conservatism.I think you massively over estimate the amount of hard left supporters in the UK. Also: left leaning voters going Lib Dem = hilarious.

Sadly the young don't vote, so what excites them doesn't really matter.
Labour need someone who plays well to swing voters in Nuneaton, not hippies on Twitter.
1 second googleWhat policies of Corbyn do the country agree with?
Do you have any evidence?
Unions have got fuck all to do with it really. They want a Labour government, if Benn looked like providing that they'd get behind him. But he wouldn't really.
I'm not sure we've got the talent at the moment, the supposed big hitters all have a major flaw: Cooper, Umunna, Starmer, Jarvis, Benn all not quite there.
Doesn't really matter anyway, next leader is the Kinnock figure, just going to gain us ground, not win a GE.
There were a few other ones at the time also. By the way, are you Bernard Manning?If you need to get in touch with Boby Sands, then his number is Nuneaton 80 80 80
(None eaten ate nothing ate nothing ate nothing)
If you've done some research what do you think of Mr Corbyn and his editorial role in the magazine that said "what's do you call 4 dead tories - a start?"
What do you think about Mr McDonnell and his comments on Bobby sands?
Are you really comfortable with the decision regarding Ken Livingston and his one year suspension? Don't you think the internal investigation was a whitewash? Seriously?
Are you not somewhat puzzled as to why Mr Corbyn voted for the Conservative Party against his own party nearly 500 times?
Are you comfortable with the fact Mr Corbyn has voted to leave the EU whenever he's had the opportunity yet now (snigger) is pro Europe.
That's two years out of date old chap and if I'd been asked my opinion id have said yes as well.

As a young person who has voted in every election and referendum I have been eligible to, comments like that are so God damn frustrating. Of course, the generation before has done such a smashing job of running affairs over the years...
Nah he's too much of a pc leftie for me
The Huffington Post. It's all over - it's Jeremy at number 10
So reductive. Nobody is saying Jeremy is going to win the election, quite the opposite. We're saying that he isn't some commy trot who's a danger to the country which is what you were suggesting.The Huffington Post. It's all over - it's Jeremy at number 10
Don't be so patronising. Do some actual research yourself.
Evaluate what a Corbyn led government would do in terms of the economy. How it would be viewed on the global markets. How the currency would stand with his rabble in power.
Your not saying young people anyway. You are saying intelligent people.
Stupid people are easily led by the media.
Frankly I'm embarrassed as to how stupid and ignorant you are coming across on here.
Before I answer that, you voted for Natalie Bennett, right? Evaluate what her government would have done in terms of the economy. The only people being patronising here are those who claim that the young never vote and their interests don't count for anything. All the while, generations before us have overseen global economic disaster, the rise of jihadism through pointless interventions, and now see fit to lead us out of the EU without a plan. Fittingly, they got a free university education then decided to impose fees on the ones who arrived after.
What has 7 years of austerity and Tory governance accomplished? Has it wiped the deficit in 5 years, as George promised? Is the union more or less secure? Have they even met their own net immigration targets?
I'll indulge ....
No idea
"Fit to lead us out the EU without a plan" - what's Mr Corbyns plan BSB?
Mr Corbyn is of course the most anti EU leader of a party since Michael Foot. You are aware of that I assume? If not use your little Google search and discover the association with a certain Anthony Wedgewood Benn.
Mr Corbyn of course would have a different policy regarding the Middle East given his "friends" and their values in that part of the world.
I'm the end though this is pointless. The British public have demonstrated over countless decades that they are fit and proper to hear the debates and decide in terms of prosperity, wealth, equality and good old fair minded values which party is best to represent the country.
Democracy will speak in June and I am sure all of us acknowledge the power of they and the public will decide the best person to lead the country in a fair and even contest.
