I honestly think if Corbyn were to come out and say he's banning foreigners from coming into Britain until he can figure out whats happening to our jobs, this could be a close call.

People who say his policies are unrealistic, perhaps don't realise his economic advisory panel includes Joseph Stiglitz and Thomas Picketty, perhaps the two greatest living economists. To favour the Tories on policy is to favour a party that has doubled the national debt whilst overseeing the biggest stagnation in real wages for over a century.

Tim Farron on C4 news failing to clarify his views on the gay community. 'We're all sinners'.

It's 2017.

Why are they unrealistic? It's actually quite simple not to be a corrupt greedy cvnt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
cost
spending beyond your means
family are traditional labour voters but i thank God someone like corbyn in charge during the financial crisis

------
Financial crisis hey?

Perpetuated by whom and how? Loaning out money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back..

Then crying foul and running to the government for help.

It's okay for bankers and and their ilk to obtain billions from the government and get the treasury to actually print money, but it's not okay for someone to have policies that would mean those same ordinary folk wouldn't have had to obtain loans in the first place.

Jesus wept, what have "the people" become?

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.

This.

We're now in the absurd position of Labour not wanting a socialist leader.

The illusion of choice.

If you disagree with Caroline Lucas, Diane Abbott or Nicola Sturgeon on any given political issue then chances are you will find yourself in the correct ball park.

defence- we are commited to spendin about 2% of gdp on defence anyway which is what we do / so there isn't billions to save here

corporate excessiveness - like climate change this is global issue that requires a lobal response. Yes, as a nation we can do morebut not enough to magically swell the budget with tens of billions corbyn dreams of

conservative party did not cos th financial crisis which was/is a global epidemic . But what party was running the uk before? was it not labour?

Echoing the sentiments that the labour membership, who vote labour and in the end give labour members of parliament their seat are firm backers of Corbyn.
Yet their elected representatives have grandiose visions of themselves in sharp suits and having their images honed to be blairites.

Blairwrongs more like

"a man that cannot unite his own party"
---------------------
His (parliamentary) party consists mainly of bought shills. He is one of the few parliamentarians who is not bought and paid for by the same people who own the media. The same media who distort everything he says and does, and launch campaign after campaign against him.

So far what I've gathered to answer the question in the op:

- He's a raging tramp
- he's too nice
- he's too left wing/socialist
- he dresses funny/does not look like a leader

bought out or however you want to spin it
I am 100% sure May would not have dared to call an election if corbyn wasn't labour leader
but i am sure you have no problems with him in charge of an oppsition that cannot even oppose.

Burnham would have had the Labour Party in a much stronger position. Why they elected someone that a large % of the electorate and his own party have no faith in is ridiculous.

apologise, i just read more of the comments on this thread

Because his policies would benefit the many rather than the few. That's not the British way, now get back in your place.

a man that cannot unite his own party against the conservatives.
______________

I think this is the crux of it. If you can't win the support of your own party then you are pretty much screwed.

More crazy policies from Labour today.

Tax rich people who earn more than £70k to pay for free school meals.

W@nkers.
