may not want to come across as not "one of them" by being too aggressive. People vote with their hearts more than their heads I'm not asking Corbyn or Labour to be "too aggressive" Shyaku. But JC comes across to floating voters (and even some Labour supporters -- I've talked to them) as indecisive, vaccinating and ineffectual. These are not the qualities voters find attractive in a leader. He seems frightened of stating anything directly and taking a definite position on anything in case he offends somebody. Well, Jeremy, whatever position you take will offend somebody, it's inevitable. But at the moment you seem to be trying to offend both sides by sitting uncomfortably on the fence. They see it as a sign of weakness; again, not a good look for a leader. Many Labour supporters find your rebuttal of anti-semitism in the Labour party to be totally wrong-headed and perverse. You should have stood up right at the start and faced your accusers (Hodge and her ilk) and debated them head-on. Mouthing platitudes about "We are opposed to racism in all its forms ..." just doesn't cut it. He should learn something from Trump. Trump makes his own agenda and uses the media for his own ends, not the other way round. Corbyn is at the mercy of the media -- not the other way round, as it should be. I'm just amazed, as I've said umpteen times here, how badly advised by Seamus Milne he is. They're like a couple of paddlers in a pool of sharks. |
