I've no idea. Polls still suggest corbyn has a credibility problem, despite the whole "cult of corbyn" business, I personally think he has very little to do with labour's resurgence and it would have come whoever was leader.

Populists are characterised by charisma and force of personality and he has none.

I'm starting to think that the Labour party is doing the worst possible thing for its electoral chances by acting as though it's actually got a serious chance of winning the next election.

I think plenty of people last time were prepared to vote for Corbyn on the basis that he wasn't actually going to become PM. I suspect him and his party saying he is will put an awful lot of people off.
