So how is Corbyn perceived in the UK generally? Obviously a legitimate grassroots movement got him in and after Milliband's complete nothing burger on austerity he's kind of a logical step, and obviously David Cameron and Tony Blair think he'll destroy Labour/the country (don't care), but from all of this I've yet to get a sense of how popular he is with general public (like a favorability rating, or something).

The worst thing about the IRA is how they botched their hit attempt on Thatcher

Can't wait for Labor to read the writing on the wall and to start actively recruiting fringe islamists in order to keep their party afloat. Finally they will be considered terrorists.

In the run-up weeks 100,000 people joined the Labour party (ie payed membership) just so they could elect Corbyn In the 24 hrs since he was voted in, 20,000 people have joined as well.

I mean its obviously a conservative plot, no way would people vote for a left wing politician right?

I genuinely have no loving clue because I live in a London bubble where everyone I meet loves him but the papers and establishment absolutely despise him. the comments under every article about him are a clean split between messiah and commie scum. massive spider fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Sep 13, 2015 |

Well yeah, it seems like a common theme is that Corbyn will reignite enthusiasm and bring the disengaged back into the fold. This is usually a risky gamble, but after Milliband it makes enough sense to try - and the enthusiasm does appear to be a real thing. Also worth noting that this is one of Bernie Sanders' pitch lines, as well. ...but I'm still kinda confused as to how he's viewed amongst the whole population, though. Maybe that won't be relevant until a few months into being the opposition leader. I did find that at least some of his positions which the establishment would probably consider wacky are actually kind of popular. v0v

Constant Hamprince posted:This is what Corbyn supporters actually believe. Corbyn actually does well across the board having secured higher support statistics than the other 3 candidates in polls conducted among self-identified UKIP, Green and Lib Dem voters. Only Tory voters rated Burham higher overall. Also if you dont realise that the vast majority of that non-voting part of the population is left-leaning then you've really got to get your head out your rear end.
