I'm equally tired of hearing 'Long-term economic plan' but it is what it is and they all do it.
Corbyn is more interesting in that he doesn't stick to the buzzwords. You watch interviews with politicians of all colours, especially Labour though, reciting the same talking points over and over again and answering every question with those talking points even when they are nothing to do with the question.
Corbyn is far more error-prone and far less likely to play it safe to try and avoid doing anything 'wrong'.
Which is nice. Labour playing so safe is pointless. We currently have Her Majesty's Government and Her Majesty's Abstainers.
Talking of all of this
look at this nonsense. I was rather hoping that Labour would reform themselves into a force for democracy and localism, veering away from their traditional 'top down' ways. Sadly not, they seem scared of the answer democracy may give so are trying to pervert it.
No wonder they are so into the EU. They appear to be taking lessons in disdain for democracy from it.
They made the decision to allow people to vote for a one-off payment of £3. The unforeseen consequences really weren't that had to foresee.
