    Are the mentally disabled allowed a vote? No wonder the SNP got so many MPS...

    No , based on some of his political views ...

    For me, he's too far left for a modern UK but it would be interesting if labour and lib dem shared a government equally.

    That would be progressive ...

    Corbyn seems too affable for British tastes, like Ed Milliband. The great unwashed prefer a firebrand or simply a shouter, Corbyn is neither. Corbyn's goals are admirable but most probably just pipe dreams.

    Re nationalisation of privatised services ie railways

    I'm not old enough to remember but my dad used to say that British rail was a ****in mess and he was an old left wing socialist

    The benefit system needs reevaluated but I believe he'd be too lenient

    But I agree with him on trident and the monarchy

    I probably agree on Trident but his idea last week about using the Vanguard subs for other duties is a joke.

    Without Scottish MPs and Corbyn as leader I simply can't see where a Labour challenge is coming from.

    The trains need sorting out, most other European countries have nationalised railways and they're ****ing awesome. We just need people in charge of them to actually be competent + not try to rip off the public. We still subsidise the current operators LOADS and they make the profit, it's a ridiculous situation. Maybe trains were **** a few decades ago, but we now have complex IT systems to run them.

    I do agree that the benefits system needs sorting, but the Tories are making such a mess of it that even someone as challenged as Mindy could do a better job.

    'Crackpot' is one of those tabloid attacks that seems to have stuck. The man talks more sense than any politician we've had in my lifetime.

    That's his problem, some of his policies offer half a solution or one so bastardised that it just looks a bit daft.

    Why bother reading them or worse, respond to them? Just ignore me, my posts are not on any "Must Read" lists.

    My only issues with him are Diane Abbott being anywhere near government and the fact he's been too nice to the Tories for all the ****ed up stuff they've been up to.

    That's just him though. He's a nice chap and actually cares about people.
