Could somebody explain why Corbyn shouldn't be voted for as Labour party leader?

[Myturnnow4]

I've listened to people argue this, but haven't heard a reasoned argument yet. The main criticism appears to be, "he's on the left" but don't go on to explain why that in itself is a bad thing.

squidzin .... the majority of the economically incompetent smaller parties said "I agree with Miliband", or were willing to get behind him in a grand socialist coalition, so with FPTP all the economically incompetent parties got screwed over.

But for the UK population as a whole, not now in that Labour spiral to the economic/debt bottom, FPTP worked out just fine.

"They've virtually said if jc gets in he has no real mandate.
Who does that?"

The Establishment

Looks like not just Tories, Blairites too are scarred of PM Corbyn.

My bet is - (and I'm aware I sound like an arse but I did v accurately predicte the general election result!!) Corbyn will get in but will last six months at most.

Thank you Pneumometer, I now get why the polis are so very keen to get people to vote. The self absorbed planet burner baby boomers rule.

Yes. Labour are shooting their own toes off. It's ridiculous. There is so much work to get out of this mess.

LOL at 'deluded'
I am simply describing people I know.
Previous generations of our family were seriously poor and hungry - in the way that people now are not poor, and have no comprehension of how it used to be.
My parents (left school at 14) see their GC at famous and expensive schools they never could have dreamed of.
People (apart from the previously 'monied classes')_are better off now than they ever have been.

MrsUltra .... so you make sweeping political/demographic statement on around 70 million UK citizens, based on the people you know - that is good to know.

We are all clearly better off than those that lived in the 19th century to the post 2nd WW, but as those links I provided shows, for many 'working class' people, unless working for the government/local authorities, a Final Salary Pension that might enable pensioners to live comfortably, hardly exists thanks to Labour.

Just taking Council Tax, in 13-years under them it went up an average 105% in England, and if having to rely on a State Pension, what did it go up over those same 13-years, bloody peanuts.

Need to point out re above post that the Tories are obsessed with pensions. They obsess over them, because pension schemes enable a minority of finance mogules to make shitloads of money whilst screwing people over.

What about care homes, medication for the over 60's, nursing care for the over 60's and housing.

No one gives a crap about pensions while the Tories are intent on destroying actual pragmatic social care for the elderly in their obsession with money.

A Corbyn gvt recognises actual care above private profiteering.

He's fairly advanced in years and being a PM is a stressful job. Remember the Lib Dem leader a while back- Ming? He was voted in as leader and then discarded because of his age. Also factor in the party doesn't stand united behind him....
