To me the worrying thing is many 'younger' people I know (<30 years) seem pretty impressed with him. They like his style and delivery and now seem to be taking an interest in 'mainstream' politics when 18 months ago they'd shown no interest at all.

Jr was over the moon last night and from what she was saying her colleagues and friends hold similar views. She always felt the Labour party she'd known (she's 26) was no different to the others so was a waste of time. I reckon she's now a Labour convert - no more voting for TUSC for her.

I think the leadership election has shown JC has strong appeal with those who felt disenfranchised and if a sizeable chunk of the 33.9% who didn't vote in 2015 (plus those not registered) decide to give him a try then who knows the possible outcome.

If the Labour party also come out as pro remain then there's another chunk of people who may decide to have a punt.

It's scary but might not be as cut and dried as some think. Remember the 'experts' haven't done too well at gauging the mood of the electorate at the last 2 national outings to the ballot box.

Cheers
