I didn’t believe Corbyn was capable of doing that and it turns out he wasn’t.

However, he did a hell of a lot better than I expected and will be here to fight the next one. He still doesn’t convince me as a party leader but clearly his style has struck the right note with some voters. I was also pleased to see him come out with cynical electioneering by promising to scrap tuition fees. You have to be prepared to bribe the voters if you want to win- look at Cameron

Despite my own lack of faith in him I would love to see him deliver a win. I would have serious concerns about him as Prime Minister but it is worth the risk. If you look at the incompetent buffoon in the job at the moment you could hardly do worse.
I saw Corbyn address the masses at Glastonbury the other day. He is certainly enjoying his moment of defeat.
