People are capable enough of deciding who they want and don't want in power
It's not democratic when 33% of the vote gives you a massive majority.

I don't think you understand what happened with Corbyn. In 2017, when the right of the labour party saw Jeremy gain massive support with young people, and when they started chanting his name at glastonbury, there were private meetings held by his own party determined to bring him down.

This is when the accusations of anti Semitism started. It's not about fairness, it was about a semi coup by a party, who have now continued the tory austerity. The right of labour didn't want power to do good things and try and improve the country, they did it for powers sake.

Propaganda exists for a reason, as do adverts. it's really easy to shape an opinion of someone.

It was not about fairness, it was a silent coup by the labour party allied with the media. It's not an opinion, what happened is fact that is now being openly spoken about by the party.
