Welcome, Mr Corbyn

The Guardian: Labour leadership: Jeremy Corbyn elected with huge mandate

BBC: Jeremy Corbyn: 'Young people have to be heard'

Plus Guardian profile from 12th of August: Jeremy Corbyn profile: 'He talks like a human being, about things that are real'

It might not work, but at least we've got someone who will stand up for what he believes, someone who thinks that what the Tories are doing is wrong - and won't worry about saying so.

He's very left-wing, but considering the right-wing morons currently running the country I think that's a very good thing.

Frankly, I just want a decent opposition and it looks like Corbyn can provide that.

That's it. Someone who's not afraid to call out the Tories on their crap.

At least he is willing to try and his head/heart seem to be in the right place. So thank goodness and here's hoping it snowballs to here and we can elect Bernie into office! That would be MARVELOUS!

*HUGS*

Well most of the press is slaughtering him on principle cause he's left-wing, so... Guess it shows how rightwing our media is.

We have the same problem. Even our apparently 'liberal' media is nothing but Trump 24/7. *shudders* Bernie is word of mouth..and word is spreading. I would love to have a female President. Alas, I cannot agree with Hillary or her views. I'm more concerned about everyone in this country - and Bernie has them in mind. I'm hoping he will trump Trump and win even against Hillary. It would be LONG past time for that to happen.

Who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and a few Repubs will resign in a fit of Rage-Quit. That would be awesome, actually. :D

Ah yes, ours is nothing compared to yours. (And your left wingers are to the right of our right wingers...)

Well Trump is a joke. I don't think he can actually win (thankfully). I don't have much of an opinion on Hilary, but pretty much any Democrat is better than a Republican.

HERE'S TO HOPING!!!
