Why do people dislike Jeremy Corbyn?

Because he's a threat to national security.
Because he's a college protestor who never grew up.
Because the country would be a complete shambles with him in charge.
Because he's a disrespectful cunt when it comes to our armed forces.
He wants "dialogue" with ISIS. Well off you pop over to Syria then Jeremy see how warmly you're received.
He's an awful awful creature.

OlennasWimple I think many people are unaware of his connections with the IRA

The run up to a GE we will be reminded of his connections over and over again both to the IRA and at a time when we were under constant threat and also his connections to Hamas and Hezbollah

The press haven't really started their attack on him they simply haven't needed to but no one with his history should ever or would ever be voted PM

Because basically he has spent his life opposing multilateral institutions like NATO and that puts him in the same company as Trump. And like Trump, his sympathies with Putin and Assad are transparent.

And this to say nothing of his IRA sympathies or associations with anti-semitic terrorist organisations.

I position myself on the left, but Corbyn represents a hidebound, backward leftism I despise.

Also he's plain inept: awkward, shambolic and with zero communication skills.

As a person he comes across a conceited narcicisst who is happier basking in the devotion of select acolytes in town halls than winning the power needed to change the country.

His position on Brexit was the last straw. I am now voting Lib Dem.

I don't dislike him but he is not a leader. He is not the person we need to hold the government to account. Labour MPs made a huge mistake putting him on the ballot for a debate and then he became popular at the grass roots of the Labour Party. It's not the grass roots alone that any party has to appeal to to win power.

If we had a different person maybe we wouldn't be going for a hard brexit.

His total failure over brexit. He's rubbish, not a leader and a hypocrite. Labour will never be an effective opposition while he's in power when we've never been more in need of the checks and balance that provides.

For me, it's 2-fold:

1. He will never get sufficient popular support to win a general election. He knows that full well (or he's utterly deluded). He's willing to commit the country to a decade or so with no effective opposition at the very time we need it the most. That's not public service and I will not forgive that.

2. Despite entirely fucking the electability of the Labour Party, he didn't try to block Brexit when he had the opportunity (probably because he actually thinks it's a good thing, and the world is going to reset at 1972 or something).

Because I hate the Tories and I don't think he's providing a good opposition or challenging them as he should.

I have no problem with his republicanism or refusal to sing a god save the queen song.

Because he's a 1970s throwback. Privatise the railways and all that. And a totally uninspiring leader. And how can someone intend to be a country's leader and yet refuse to sing that country's national anthem?

Plus, his MPs think he's shit.

He has no chance of getting elected and isn't putting up a credible opposition. It's not OK that he takes the support of a small (relative to the UK electorate) number of party members as a mandate to pursue policies that are unpopular with the electorate.

There was a female Labour MP (can't remember who) who was on the radio when he got the leadership - she said that there had been a vote on something or other and she couldn't vote with the party. She bumped into him in the corridor and said, "Jeremy, I'm afraid I just can't vote with you on this" and he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I never voted with the party."

Now this man was leader. Why didn't he ask her for five minutes of her time and tell her why voting his way was important? A leader can't just laugh because someone disagrees with them, when that could mean that what he wants won't happen.

To me, he represents the old Labour school (he reminds me of Ricky Tomlinson and others like him.) He's been on the edges of the party all his life, feeling free to do and say what he wants. That's fine, but it's not what you want in a leader.

I've always voted Labour. I don't know who the hell I'm going to vote for now. Even the Lib Dems with this massive opportunity are not doing anything with it.

Everything. Will never vote labour again whilst he is leader.

Agree with customary. I thought it could be a good thing to get some more "socialist" policies back on the table but he's been completely hopeless as a party leader and failed to provide any sort of opposition.

I even get the impression his Momentum groupies are beginning to lose faith in him.

Connections to the IRA, Hamas and Hezbollah he tries to claim this is all down to trying creating peace

Yet he is only interested in one side of the argument the one that is against the UK or US

He is an agitator not a man of peace

And while leader ignoring the anti semitism within his party and the bullying female mp's is a disgrace

He should have been thrown out of the party years ago after bringing Gerry Adams in to the HOP a few weeks after the Brighton Bombing an attack that was aimed and nearly did kill our democratic elected leader and cabinet ministers

He wasn't included in the real peace talks his stance wasn't what they aimed for

I don't condemn him as a man for holding firmly to his principles - but I think his principles are incompatible with effective leadership of the Labour Party.

I agree

^First 'not' above should say 'note'.

My views lie somewhere between Rorty's and Grotbags'.

I was particularly annoyed by Corbyn's lack of leadership during the Remain campaign (not - I'm not looking to derail thread with a Brexit debate!) Labour has become remote from the working population - no attempt was made to reach out - I see Corbyn as living in a London bubble, putting his principles above pragmatism.

That said, I don't condemn him as a man for holding firmly to his principles - but I think his principles are incompatible with effective leadership of the Labour Party.

He is not an effective leader, the party remains completely divided and unable to function as an opposition in parliament.

He has not done much to combat anti-Semitism and sexism in the party.

What others view as him being 'a man of principle', I view as him being rigid, stuck in the past and dogmatic.

I don't dislike him and voted for him first time round, but not second because Momentum have Labour by the throat and that's pissed me off

I am anti-monarchy and anti-trident like he is

He's pretty much a Tory as he does very little to challenge them.

rorty I 100% agree with everything you say.

He's held up as a "man of the people" but is a career politician who has never had a RL job (I don't get why so many people forget this)

He supports the IRA (I don't get why more people aren't angrier about this)

He doesn't challenge antisemitism and misogyny in his party

I can't vote for Labour whilst he is the leader - I'm struggling to work out who to vote for, TBH. I'm hoping the Lib Dems will pick themselves up properly before the next election...

I don't particularly dislike him. However, I do think he lacks leadership skills and is clearly not enabling Labour to act as a credible opposition to the government.

I admire him for having strong principles, but he does not represent my views(the centre left), nor does he try to.

He is a dry old throwback.
