You know what, Corbyn could actually win this election.

He really could, the polls are looking good for labour.
TM might regret her decision to call this snap election.

People should vote for the party not the leader, but personality does count for a lot of people.
Funny thing is, the younger generation ( & I'm talking the under 25's ) seem to 'get him' - he's focusing on them of course, but why not? they are the future.
If they just actually go and vote, he could win.

He won't win.

Hopefully. I think social media helps. I've only seen one pro Tory post on my FB (she works for a con MP). I have a huge friend list so I've been surprised it's not more even.

If we had PR then maybe, under FPTP the areas with massive majorities aren't going to change that much I don't think. It is encouraging though, we need a strong turnout.

Good.

Going on the political events of the last year, we can't count on media agendas to predict anything. So despite his absolute trashing from mainstream media, people are understanding what he is actually about rather than the twisted version of him, and so yes he could win - his policies should appeal to many many people.
