Well it may be true that he is unlikely to win an election bit it rather odd to say anyone is unelectable,no matter what party they are from.

What he has already done is made Labour the bigger party as to membership,he has also attracted people who paid a small sort of donation to be able to vote for a party leader and also has attracted many young people too.

I cannot bear George Osborne or Theresa May or Boris Johnson for that matter,however no way do I see, even with their heartless and severe extreme views as unelectable.
To say here and now almost 5 years from a general election that anyone is unelectable is rather a clouded view.
We, I certainly haven't, have no idea what voters will be looking for in 5 years time,or indeed what state the UK will be in.
Will we be coming out of the EU, will there be another vote,maybe already held, as to Scottish independence.

Just because someone is not liked by some does not in anyway mean they are unelectable, Winston Churchill and Conservative supporters may well have thought that of Attlee and labour in 1945, which they got a massive shock on in the end.

I have already come to expect the unexpected in politics,anything can happen and if an idea is plausible and the message conveyed right then really no one,especially as to the main parties is unelectable.
So overall on here I am more with JoshBB who for someone also really young, has good, strong and healthy open views as to politics.
Not seeing the political process as the possession of only the extreme hardline far right politicians and voters,as to the rights of winning elections.
