You don't have to wonder. Corbyn is a horrible politician and worse, as someone put it today, he is ideologically opposed to getting better because that would be 'politics'. Did you see that Vice documentry on him? If not you should. Sums up the hubris, self-obsession and incompetence.

Blair put it best the other day:

Quote:
“So you’re the person in power, taking difficult decisions, some people support you, some people don’t support you, but you become a figure of controversy and some people, they go out and they protest against you. That’s my type of politics.

“You’re the face on the placard. Jeremy’s the guy with the placard. He’s the guy holding it. One’s the politics of power, and the other’s the politics of protest. And the two are different. And in the end, if you want to change people’s lives, you’ve got to be for the politics of power.”
Labour have given up the politics of power and instead have picked up the placards.

Also Corbyn wants to Leave the EU. If he took a more senior role in the campaign it would be to undermine it.

I miss Ed Miliband.
