I think more than anything though it could end up simply that they're the only realistic alternative in our system.

Ideas are easy mate and if people believe they're the only credible way forward we're already doomed. Tell me what is realistic about Corbyn's nationalisation garbage, his PFI reviews, his housing promise, rent controls, Brexit policy, student debt pledges, etc etc etc. It's all so much tosh and I'm staggered that anyone would consider any of it 'realistic'. It's populist nonsense and we saw just how easily he finds dropping pre-election pledges after the event. Clearing student debts??? Yeah Labour were really going to do that weren't they...
They found £1bn which is being spent on services in NI as part of an electoral deal, not given to politicians. It may stick in the throat for some people but it pales into insignificance when compared to the cost of Labour's spending promises. Remind us how much that 'fully costed' promise to do away with student loans/debt was going to cost? How big do you think they're money tree will have to be to get us out of the PFI* contracts
80% of which were negotiated on Labour's watch? How much bigger will it need to be to renationalise the utilities they've told us they'll do away with. These people are talking nonsense. They have no plan, they're promising what they know they can't deliver and they'll do what they always do which is spend money like confetti to keep themselves in power for as long as they can. They'll then blame it all on the Tories.
