why is there so much hatred for Corbyn?

Oh and it's all media driven billionaires afraid of paying their fair share.

He's a joke.

His last election promise, to get students to vote for him, was  that he'd abolish university fees and those who'd payed them would get a refund.


Now he's promising to insulate every home and give many discounted energy bills.

I think the budget calculations for these initiatives,  must be  made for him by Diane Abbot.
She's as thick as two short planks and can't count.

This, from another thread summed her up

Gaining in the polls and parliament hasn't even been dissolved yet

I can only speak on the people I know.  Generally, regardless of background, education, job and so on, most are comfortable being in the middle, maybe leaning a little to the left or right depending on the issue.

If there's a preference for straying away from the middle or the moderate, it's unsurprising that so many aren't trusting of the hard left.  Conservative governments from 1979 to 1997.  Then came Blair's three terms (followed by Brown).  Then the Conservatives back at the wheel since 2010.  

The usual Conservative-supporting media outlets take a dig.  The left-leaning media sometimes shows a degree of scepticism.  It's a lot to ask for the electorate to take a step into the unknown AKA Corbynland.  

I think some voters who are undecided are turned off 'Corbynistas'.  Their unwavering support and tone regardless of the matter is mystifying.  There's enough abuse and bile from right-wing supporters and media without the left pouring petrol on the fire.

I have no hatred for JC , I just hate how far left his leadership and momentum have taken the party. I'm not keen on a 70s revival Labour , it did not work then and will not today.

Their party, their rules. Either party can do whatever they want, so long as they follow their own rules.
