There seems to be a lot of people at a loss as to why the guy is so popular amongst tge young so i'll give it a go from my perspective...

If you're coming out of school/uni today, you're looking at society and just not seeing any hope at all. We've had brexit which is really gonna rock us, but more importantly the jobs which offer security are drying up. This i think is the most crucial point: if you want a job, it's easy, but most of those jobs i, for example, am looking at are never gonna come close to paying rent, bills, food and a bit spare.

That goes across the board pretty much. I have mates training to be nurses, teachers, some who did apprenticeships, up to me who went to uni and studied hard but is still looking at a service job to get by. Add on the debt i racked up at uni, and the fact that my financial outgoings like rent and food are only gonna increase...you can see why a lot of young people are seeing corbyn as our only hope.

Then there's the other fact, that younger people feel more internationalist because we engage online and can travel fairly easily. My missus is polish, has studied and worked here but now has a PM refusing to guarantee her the right to stay. I am by no means alone, and i know a lot of people my age now who wanna get out of here because the nationalist chauvinism is blinding us, politically, from acting smart about our future.

If you take that security away from people, they'll react against the system. It's a truism as old as the hills, and yet the tories, at the minute, dont seem to get it.

This also applies to May who could hardly answer a single question of Paxman's last night. In my lifetime, the choice of leaders to run this country has never been so low given their gaffs and backwards Manifesto half-promises at a parlous state that threatens to leave country in ever spiralling downward movement economically-speaking. How our children and their children will be paying for OUR mistakes for generations to come.

Cheeky fiver on labour to win, the country is more than stupid enough to vote him in.

I won't be voting for Labour, the Conservatives, or anyone else for that matter. All of them cannot be trusted.

I would trust someone more who did look it up. Its professional, even if you think you know the answer to verify it. I do the same, because I deal with a lot of information over the course of a day, and the human mind doesn't work like a computer.

In fact, I think its absurdly stupid to expect people to be memorising facts and figures just for an interview - when they could take the data in with them. Its a waste of their time and taxpayers money to have every interview treated with exam conditions.

I found that interview a bit naughty. "How much will it cost?" and then when he tries to look it up, giving him grief that he doesn't know it. Do they really expect Corbyn (and May, Sturgeon, Fallon etc) to know the precise costs for every policy in their manifesto? I consider myself a professional, but if someone asks me for a cost or a timescale on a project in a meeting, I'll almost always have to look it up - you just can't carry that amount of number sin in your head. Struck me that the interviewer just wanted to make herself look like Paxman.

I'd rather someone looks it up and gives an accurate figure than do an Abbott and quote eleventy-twelve pounds

Which means there is no point in you debating the issue anymore ?????

I'm not voting on the basis of the leader though, our local conservative MP is an utter cock - Who really isn't interested in representing his constituents only his own views.

There in lies the problem. Its not really about who the muppet on the stand is. Its about your local MP who will be elected.

That said, we have a crazy running as well from Direct Democracy, who's flyer has him represented as some Dungeons and Dragons character, with a crystal ball, some good old Illuminati pyramids and some classic 1% waffle.

Seriously, it took me five minutes to work out it was an election flyer, and not some kind of new cult thing.
