Strange how a YouGov poll a week ago gave these figures.

I don't think it's a great surprise that Diane Abbott's views aren't based in reality.
I don't think it's a great leap to suggest that there's a big element of self-selection in Corbyn's policy consultation.
His new kind of politics appears to be authoritarianism based around him and his inner circle dictating, with him seeking confirmation from elements of the membership when it suits his agenda. This alongside his apparent disdain for the responsibilities of MPs to reflect their constituencies, not just his supporters, lowers my opinion of him yet further.
Not entirely sure what's new about his groupies spitting venom at anyone who disagrees with him, or a union boss threatening MPs who dare to express dissent.
Beyond comedy, deeply into the realms of tragedy. The illiberal views expressed both by Corbyn and, more virulently, his supports sicken me.
