Regardless of your opinion on policies, the media have consistently said "Corbyn is a man of principle, that should count for something." In my opinion, it should count for everything. For every set of politics l, left and right there is usually a fair enough argument to go against it, politics will always swing and public conceptions will always change after a certain style of policies have caused certain problems, because essentially that's all anyone ever focuses on. That's why, for me, it's refreshing to come across a politician who I genuinely believe gives a s***, who goes to bed at night thinking of ordinary British people. I own my own business and I'm more than happy to pay a little bit of extra corporation tax if it means that when someone in my family becomes ill they won't be on a 6 month waiting list to see someone who probably won't have the time or resources to help them anyway. Think it's about time people stopped voting for whoever will give them an extra couple of quid and started thinking about those who simply haven't had the rub of the green that so many take for granted! If that makes me deluded so be it, I'd have Corbyn over the Tories any day of the week.

Do you really believe that chucking more money at the NHS is the answer to its problems?

Do you really believe that companies won't mind paying 40% corporation tax?

Corbyn and his acolytes don't go to 'bed thinking of ordinary British people'. They detest ordinary British people. Emily Thornberry and the white van. THe Islington set and its disgust of working class peoples views. Lady Shami saying she didn't want to be left in Labour with Essex men.

Don't be sucked in by their populist bulls***.

It doesn't matter whether he believes in his policies or not. Most politicians will believe in a large proportion of their party's manifesto. I want someone who is competent. Corbyn and his shadow cabinet don't come across as competent.

For whatever reason, the public see May as someone Who will be a capable Prime Minister I don't know why, but it isn't just because of the media as many on the left think.

I agree about the Tories, May for some reason does seem to appeal though. Unfortunately Farron comes across as someone who would struggle to run a village fete

I think all of his political life is stretching the truth slightly though isn't it. Not that anyone opposed to Corbyn ever does that. The alternative is someone who was a leading part of a campaign that definitively told us the sky would 100% fall out if we left the EU, the minute we decided to leave it. She now ensures us (150+ times) that we will be strong and stable regardless, very weird.

She also consistently voted for the Iraq war, so there's that. I'd rather be positive than just criticise the opposition but seeing as that insulting Corbyn is pretty much the only thing Theresa has brought to the table since calling the general election, why not do the same back.
