..who would you vote for? Please base this on which candidate you feel would be best as prime minister, with chance of election & party bias not included. You can include reasons if you'd like to, I would be interested to know.

This may help for those not knowing a lot about the contenders (I didn't til I did some research) - http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...corbyn-kendall

My preferences (since Labour uses the instant run-off method)

1) Jeremy Corbyn - talented public speaker, is great with uniting people for the same cause, policies are common sense, political experience, always been on the right side of history (eg. his arrest for protesting apartheid in 1980s). I also feel he isn't ignoring young people as most politicians are, and he's also very anti-establishment. EU reform is also something I look forward to. Also trust that he will tackle tax avoidance at last, and raise tax for big companies while lowering it for newer smaller ones.

2) Andy Burnham - slightly too new-labour for me, although he does promise renationalisation of railways which is much needed. He seems to have regretted abstaining from voting against austerity which is good, I hope he remembers Labour's values in the future.

3) Yvette Cooper - I am not really a big fan. Yvette is wayy too politiciany for me, and the way she imitates populist demands even though it is against her own principles angers me. Particularly how she defended tax credit cuts at one point and how she imitated the tories' immigration policies.

4) Liz Kendall - I mean, come on... she stole UKIP's "australian point-style immigration system" and quoted it word-for-word in the hustings. She speaks better than Burnham & Yvette at times, but her policies are not good. Everything is pretty much a conservative manifesto watered down. She would be a nightmare for Labour imo.
