Most of us are fed up with politically correct language and the hectoring party politics, but to suggest that economically illiterate policies and Michael Foot policies are the answer is like living in some fairy tale world that only exists in immature imaginations.
If any politician really wants to tackle poverty in this country, the first thing they need to understand is the need to create wealth and then direct it wisely.
Unfortunately, Left wing politicians seem to be hell bent on following the politics of envy, and all that will lead to is bail outs from the IMF and heartbreaking scenes on TV such as we have seen happening in Greece.

I haven't said anything on his competence, just that I quite like him and politics could do with more people like him in it. Interesting that you mention his economic ideas though seeing as a whole heap of economists are backing him and his ideas are strangely in tune with the IMF's austerity thinking
