I've never understood why so many so vehemently hate him, I know a lot of my home town friends didn't like his supposed IRA terrorist sympathies, which to me never made sense, given his life long pacifist and anti-war stance.
I liked his policies, I thought he was a reasonable bloke and honest, I don't think he was leader material, but I also think if Labour MPs had supported him from the beginning instead of trying to oust him, he might, just might have made a good PM. But that was never going to happen, I remember seeing a TV program with Steven Kinnock prior to the election and he was almost willing himself to lose, to prove he was right about Corbyn, he ended up winning! He was so torn about it he couldn't talk, his Mrs had to talk for him.
> He moved politics to the left in Britain which is good but it's also good that things have moved on and Labour have decided to be serious about getting elected again.
Hopefully so, I'm still a bit pissed off the way it seems to be the media which had a massive influence on his going and it was nowt to do with his policies more about what they could blame him for. A better politician might have been able to fight against them.
