Obviously it is easier to stand outside politics and talk.
But if it is informed intelligent cutting edge based opinion, it is relevant
I agree at this moment he cant be taken particularly seriously as its mostly theory. But if millions listen to his words, that alone can enter the british consciousness. itll be fascinating to see if he gets more serious and active

But I didn't say I think he should have had a manifesto. Just some ideas beyond stating "the system is broken and needs fixing" - many people agree with him, but he shouldn't be applauded for stating the obvious in my opinion. If he'd gone into that interview and said "the first step is..." then that would have sufficed. Just some evidence that he knows what he's talking about, politically, rather than using archaic language to essentially state that the country, and world at large, needs an overhaul.
