I don't think this is a binary issue. We can be concerned by Mr Corbyn's less than stellar company he associates with at the same time as being concerned by the government.
A strong opposition is vital. If we find ourselves with an impotent opposition, led by a man who is having to spend most of his time with fingers in ears due to it increasingly appearing like he's authoritarian, illiberal and has a disdain for many aspects of 'western' life given his repeated associations with those who dislike us it weakens us.
I was rather hoping for progressive, liberal, left-wing politics from Mr Corbyn as a contrast to the Conservatives. Instead we seem to be getting authoritarian, regressive left-wing politics, straight out of the books of the Social Justice Warriors.
Tempted to start putting Corbyn quotes
here as challenges.
Joined the Labour Party in the hope that from the ashes something good would be born. Thusfar I've been.... disappointed. I'm not that far away from leaving.
I would join the Liberal Democrats if they weren't so far up the EU's behind that you can tell when Juncker necks his first cognac of the day by the flush on Tim Farron's face.
