    Pick something he has promoted that is concerning you, an actual thing, not just "socialism" :)

    Never gonna happen. The Tories, their rich pals and their friends in the media will unleash hell upon him just as they did to the Yes campaigners during the referendum campaign. By the time the next General election comes around Corbyn will be treated as the Bogey Man of middle-England, who wants to be in power so he can tax those "honest and hard working families" to the hilt.

    The Scottish referendum has shown us that the papers are finished :)

    Murdoch owns more than newspapers. And they still have enormous influence. Just look at the news: they still read out and discuss the newspaper headlines every night and every morning, despite the fact that sales have fallen dramatically. Newspaper editors realise this and produce headlines that grab people's attention when blithely read out by some twat sitting on a sofa in a warm studio.

    And then there's big businesses like Tesco and Asda. Don't forget all the scare stories we had from them about rising prices and taxes etc.

    In some ways it'll actually be quite funny watching Labour getting hammered by Tory tactics they themselves were only too happy to embrace during the independence campaign.

    I think it will be funny watching the SNP try to out-left the Labourski Party

    Giving power back to the Unions, re-nationalisation of selected industries, and his stance on World affairs/Politics, there's three. You're welcome.

    That's hardly worrying

    The UNITED STATES won't even privatise their mail delivery, he wants the railway and energy renationalised. Not a bad idea considering the high rates and fares implemented by the private companies that everyone complains about

    I'm pro union so can't see an issue with union power, I doubt it'd be an issue for most labour voters

    Internationally you may have a point, he could see the UK fallout with US, Saudi Arabia and Israel... Can we stomach that?

    Ha ha hark at Mr Naivety. You think those are Daily Mail bylines? Haven't you seen the national news the last couple of days? Sorry Mindoid but those are BBC bylines and will continue to be mainstream media bylines for the as long as Wurzel Gummidge is the leader of the opposition.

    But i shall elaborate for you if you wish.

    He has made his party unelectable because he is looked upon as the loony left. He will be portrayed as such in the media, He already is.His beliefs and policies will not sit well with the English electorate. This is an electorate that is moving further to the right with every passing election. Nearly four million of them just voted UKIP ffs, Millions of others voted Tory to stem the purge if the "red" Scottish nationalist scourge. Do you really think Corbyn's policies on immigration, welfare, defence, Ireland and the middle east will bring all those back into the socialist fold? He may see some support in Scotland but when it comes to Westminster elections Scotland doesn't matter.

    His party are already imploding. Half the shadow cabinet have resigned and he seems to be struggling to fill spaces. He will in the next couple of days see the MP's supposedly under his leadership vote against his policy and in favour of air strikes in Syria. That will probably the first of many parliamentary revolts.

    The Tories will be in power for the foreseeable future because.......see all of the above.

    The longer the Tories reign and the more unelectable Labour becomes, the better the chances of a vote for independence.

    All very obvious i'd say Mindy.

    I saw Corbyn elected leader with more votes than Tony Blair got

    I saw the right wing establishment press **** themselves

    The problem with this Loony Left Leader is that he answers the question put to him and his answers are backed with facts, that's how he easily won the debates at the hustings

    4 million morons who probably used to vote tory might find themselves agreeing with Corbyn on Europe

    His party needs a blood letting of the suits that made them unelectable in the past two elections and lost Scotland

    A left wing labour party will show the SNP up for the new labour clones they are

    The Labour Party has to be something other than Tory lite, if it means they lose elections but actually represent the people who vote for them, not the companies or the media who try to influence them, I'd gladly lose every time

    I haven't been this happy since Rangers died

    Did you not see the hundreds of thousands of new members paying their three quid so they could vote Corbyn in?

    Did you not see the right wing mainstream media rubbing its hands in glee at the prospect of another Labour shambles akin to that of Michael Foot?

    A loony left leader who answers questions is he. I saw him asked SIX times yesterday about his opinion of the IRA and he refused to answer the question put to him.

    There cant be a bloodletting of suits. Those suits were democratically elected just a few short months ago and there are more suits than there is elbow patched tweed jackets.

    A left wing Labour party, if we ever get one will never be in power fo show anybody up.

    If they dont win elections then they are a waste of space. Be as well calling them the lib dems ffs.

    Thats because ypu are an idiot who cant see the wid for the trees.
