I read that article in the Indy this afternoon and sighed.
"I'm talking about his potential appeal to, wait for it, middle Britain."
As a 'Middle Englander' and a swing voter, I can say with some confidence that Corbyn has no appeal to me. I've hesitated saying this up until now but the guy is a loon. His seeming lack of ability to object to anti-semetism, political and religious extremism as well as his, for lack of a better word, insane economic policies (though to be fair he hasn't explained how he will use QE if elected, just that he will) means I will not be voting for a labour government in 2020 (probably the liberals like I did last time around).
Im willing to suspend my final decision until I've heard more, however as I fundamentally disagree with him on his economic policies and his stance on international relations and security (NATO, de facto pro Hamas etc), I can't see me changing my mind.
