"He just doesn't look like a leader"
Isn't that possibly a good thing? Too many people wanting someone based on how they look rather than what they want to do.
---------------------
Not saying thats my preference, but thats a reason why he isn't electable.

True but that's also rather depressing and the reason we are stuck with the sh-t we currently have and why there's a mad man across the Atlantic (not that the alternative was any better).
So Kung Fu, all in all says some sensible things which are contrary to those who have power and wealth who think they'll live forever.
Ultimately because he struggles to get people to buy into his policies if they hadn't already.
Maybe he should get a make over. Veneers, tan, big powerful quiff, some tight shirts, get rid of the bike and get some big British car like a Rolls. Also come up with some stupid slogans that don't mean anything. Then people will think he looks like a leader.

On a serious note, that is my only concern but it would be totally irrational not to vote for him because of that.
This will be the first time I have ever voted, hopefully it will count.
Rich white people won't let it happen.
like someone said
corbyn is to politics what moyes is to football
unrealistic targets and zero gameplan
a man that cannot unite his own party against the conservatives.
imagine him negotiating brexit against 27 eu states
whatever deal we get will make fellani's signing look like a steal
Why are they unrealistic? It's actually quite simple not to be a corrupt greedy cvnt.
As for trade deals I see Liam Fox is playing an absolute blinder so far.
All depends on whether Putin decides the break up of the EU is more important than crushing the banking behemoth of The City of London.
He's not electable because he offers real change and puts people first. The establishment simply won't allow it

It would be and it shouldn't stop anyone from voting for him that already wants to. Ultimately though, it is what makes him unelectable in terms of chances of winning it.
I would add the caveat though that the same behaviours that stop him from getting the masses to buy in are also behaviours that could stop him being a particularly effective pm, nationally or internationally. There's no point having great policies if no one listens to you.

Spend less on an agressive militarised foreign policy whilst stopping corporate shysters taking money out of the country.
Done.

Sorry, but the mans policies are ridiculous.
It's all well and good being an idealist banding around arie fairy policies that sound great to the masses, but when it's time for execution, simply are not viable.
He could barely convince his own party to keep him on as leader, let alone a nation, let alone other nations. We have the most important trade deals of our generation to negotiate on the horizon, and people want to back Labour / Corbyn?!?
Jesus wept.
one positive of brexit is that george osborne and david cameron are gone, i hate sadiq khan and boris johnson as well

He couldn't convince MP's who are the carbon copy of the Tories.
What does it say about those MP's who wouldn't back Corbyn from his first day as leader of the opposition when he was elected in a landslide victory not once but twice?
Doesn't it speak volumes about the character of these MP's who are willing to go against the will of their own constituents?
MP's are our servants, they are supposed to reflect what we the people want. Labour voters told them what they wanted and they petulantly denied Corbyn their support.

This. Should have just closed the article for comments after this.
The mans a wet lettuce! He can't lead the Labour Party never mind the Country!
I would think most of the Labour MPs and members who wanted rid will be rubbing their hands because if he loses the election he'll probably and hopefully be forced to step down.
👀
Kung fu.
Dummy spitters who want a public schoolboy spiv in a suit.
Answer to the OP is simple:
He's not an establishment favourite. That's fine as a back bencher or in a marginal party but when leader of one of the major parties, that's unacceptable.
Remember that our media spectrum runs from Blair loving 'liberal' outlets like the Guardian and off to a more overt form of state-corporate worship like the Times.
Naturally, politicians and commentators who fall within that narrow spectrum will by and large be supported or become lead op-ed writers. Anyone outside of that spectrum will be opposed, marginalised or outright smeared. Corbyn falls outside of that establishment friendly spectrum, so must be defeated.
The reality is his policies are popular, but the public aren't allowed to hear it, and he's been undermined at every turn by the Blairite faction of his own party.
