Jeremy Corbyn

Your very own Jeremy Cornyn doll.

I think that what JCs election has shown is that people are desperate for change from the politics we have in this country.

Whether it can be pulled off ? Well we shall just wait and see, but politicians of all colours (if they are capable) would not be acting with much intelligence if they ignore the disaffected young who voted for JC.

The Labour party is desperate for a.really good charismatic leader to lead all that youthful enthusiasm wanting to back change and good ideas to have a fairer Britain. I had hoped Corbyn was him, but he seems to me to be only a fleeting catalyst for a change he is too stuck in his ways to deliver.

I watched the opening of the Labour party conference out of curiosity.
A young girl who opened the conference, delivered her speech with passion. Then followed a series of adults, who didn't engage their audience. I won't be the only viewer who judged the speeches on content and delivery, as well as the superficial e.g. how not to behave
on a platform.

Finally an experienced politician stood before the audience. He engaged
them with enthusiasm, energy, constantly looking at his audience and pausing. I almost felt a wave of relief - from them, or was it mine?

Mrs Thatcher had lessons to lower her voice. More reason for the Labour front bench to be taught aspects of dealing with the media, in order to look and sound professional and confident.

Such a shame. I was hoping for new, workable ideas.

Did you see the poll results today? He had the lowest poll ratings for any new labour party leader for decades, lower than Michael Foot and Ed Milliband. Most people thought he was more honest than Cameron but also thought that he was not a capable leader. He did not know that Kerry McCarthy was a vegan, and a proslytising one as well, when he appointed her minister of agriculture.

Generally the Labour Party was seen as more divided, extreme and out of date than before the election.

Personally I am pleased to see that one of our political parties has got a conviction politician as its leader. I think he will show up the other leaders for the charlatans they are. Although thinking back to the last time a conviction politician was not just a party leader, but also Prime Minister (Margaret Thatcher) her presence did little to raise the quality of political discourse.

In either case I disagree so profoundly with their convictions, their principled views can and did have only a negative affect of my voting intentions. I never voted for Mrs Thatcher and I cannot envisage a situation where I would vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

I wonder - what are his views on voluntary euthanasia ?

Somebody with the opposite opinion will be along shortly.

No reason to believe he would be good for anybody.

NO!
