  • Well, his domestic policies seemed decent if not overambitious and I really disliked the Tories. I’d lived under their government all my adult life and I was ready for anything else.

    And back then I was one of many people who thought Corbyn was being unfairly treated by his own party and a lot of the media. I thought, why won’t they just give the guy a chance instead of undermining him all the time? I felt like, it’s less that he’s bad organiser and more that his party won’t let him organise them.

    In hindsight I would say that he probably did get a lot of undeserved criticism and misrepresentation in the media and that made me more sympathetic to him at the time.

    I was a younger and more naïve person back then.

    I voted for Corbyn twice but my opinion of him has changed a lot since then. To be in any kind of leadership position you have to have some level of organisational and decision making ability and he doesn’t have those at all. If he’d won the election and become PM I think it would have been an embarrassing shit show like this party he’s founded.
