The mainstream media or MSM as they’re now known and the various New Labour grandees who have been wheeled out to tell the rest of us what morons we are (McTernan), or how we need a heart transplant (Blair), or how Labour needs a credible, radical leader (Brown), all appear to be labouring under the delusion that electing a Leader of the Opposition is equivalent to electing a future Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It isn’t. Even the man himself, Jeremy Corbyn is equivocal about whether or not Prime Minister is a job he wants but that’s not the point.\u00a0I and hundreds of thousands of people like me are supporting a man who is prepared to oppose the present Tory Government and from everything I have heard (in person) and read of his I believe he is the only person capable of doing it from the four candidates\u00a0available.<\/p>\n

If, in four years time, the PLP decide they want a younger more attractive leader to fight the 2020 General Election then so be it, but in the meantime we will have had several years of a man speaking common sense in the face of a Tory party determined to dismantle the post war settlement with the support of 24% of the electorate who turned out to vote.<\/p>\n

Corbyn is unbeatable on common sense replies. In an interview with Labour List published yesterday he was asked about policy.<\/p>\n

But how will policy be made? Corbyn wants to give Labour\u2019s annual conference \u201cmore authority\u201d in policy making. I put it to him that that could lead to big decisions just being made by people who like going to lots of political meetings, which arguably doesn\u2019t open up politics very much at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment it\u2019s made by people who don\u2019t go to political meetings and are just experts,\u201d he shrugs, \u201cSurely people going to meetings is an improvement on those who don\u2019t go to meetings?\u201d<\/p>\n
