Corbyn a man of principle ?

I know all politicians wriggle around questions, Corbyns principles may be honourable (?) but not much good when having to make serious high stake decisions

The majority of Labour Party members obviously don't share your concern about his beliefs. If you don't like them (or his hat) vote for somebody from another party or get together enough people together to vote for somebody else to represent you.

I don't think the language of ethics (blame, loyal, traitor, principle) has a major part to play in the relationship of politicians to their "party". Politicians should be elected to do a job and should get on with it. It's democracy's role to hold them to account via the Law and the ballot box.

Political parties elect the person whom they feel can best represent them in Parliament.

Those are the rules of the game.

Yes I agree very worrying

norose, it his system of beliefs that I find questionable

Does pig headedness count as a principle? If so, he has that in spades.

Beam, interesting, I don't think stubbornness equals principles but this could be what some admire .

As in principles can be admirable , but not practicable or do -able or sustainable or workable etc

Dictionary definition of the word Principle--a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behaviour... so I suppose he is ... but is that a good thing???

He believes stubbornness is strength when it is a weakness.

You want the good news or the bad news Annie.

The good news is that he has little chance of winning this election.

The bad news is that he nay not resign - staying put until the Party Conference when he hopes the Unions will keep him in place!

Yes they do, I asked because several had said he is a man of principle and I was interested what these principles which are admire are

The man is not unique
Everybody has their own set of principles.

I am repeating what several posters have said, he is a man of principle , I would like to hear what these principles are and what can be dismissed with excuses

What do you mean by principle
