"Jeremy Corbyn will not be our next PM, or even the one after that"
It's hard to see who will be (in the long term) if he isn't
He is the only politician on the scene today with a desire and th makings of a policy offering a genuine alternative to what has gone before

Cynisism and distrust have always been a part of the electorate's attitude towards those they vote for - Brexit has driven that to new highs with parties that can't even agree with each other in Parliament
The latest to come out of Westminster is a plan to immediately oust the new PM if he/she attempts to drive through an unfavourable Brexit - a built in vote of no confidence
When has that ever happened ?

Corby was elected leader by a grass-roots majority who wanted genuine change - a return to the principles that created the Labour Party   
If he follows through on that one, he deserved to be PM

He's not charismatic (TBTG) - political charisma sent millions to the extermination camps during my life time (just) - the nearest we ever got to that was watching our PM climb into bed with a mass-murdering South American Dictator.
Politics desperately needs policies based on principles and humanity which represents all the people and not just the privileged and successful - not superstars
The present and growing imbalance in society is not just unfair - it's a waste of talent and potential
