No, but you can guarantee he will get more than his fair share of the headlines over the next few months.
I can't think of a better way for Labour to have entrenched Cameron's authority in the aftermath of what was, by historic standards, a very narrow election win, than to have cast themselves as the Loony Lefty class of 1983, complete with a latter day Michael Foot.
Dan Hodges the plastic scouser over at the Telegraph has also opined that Corbyn's presence on the ballot will force the other candidates to move leftwards in order to try to Hoover up his supporters when he fails to get past the first round of votes. The possibility of the eventual winner being on record as saying a selection of loony lefty things doesn't bode well for Labour's prospects either.
But what do I care, they're a shower of fools and ideologues and I'm happy to see them fail.
