A lot of young people are seeing Jeremy Corbyn as a politician who is interested in them. A lot of poor people don't vote, and a lot of ethnic minority people don't vote. Guess what? They've got a lot in common with those young people - they don't see any party being particularly concerned with them either. Then along comes Jeremy Corbyn.
chairman bill wrote:Bollocks. I know a fair few older people who are concerned more about their grandchildren being saddled with debt, and not getting the chances they got as young adults, than they are with their own needs & wants. Corbyn would quite possibly appeal to them too.

If any of our Lib-dems said that about any other I'd be appalled.

chairman bill wrote:You're right, Carl. I think it was appalling behaviour.
chairman bill wrote:As the process drags on, I'm becoming increasingly disillusioned with everyone but Corbyn. I may not bother with the second preference vote at all; Corbyn, followed by 'none of the others'.
