I agree that a politician in his 70's shouldn't be a leader of a party, but when every younger politician is spouting exactly the same message, then it needs someone to step up.
Churchill lost elctions, but I guarantee you wouldn't cvall him a failed politician, and if you had any interest in knowing the truth about labour under Corbyn, you would know that he had the whole right of the party working against him. Boris awarded knighthoods for lab politicians who helped him by working against Corbyn.
Everything I've written here is factual, backed up with evidence.

I get what you are saying and your reasoning and quite honestly the way things currently are, i don't think anything is a certainty. I'm going by hunches and my hunch is that Farage has the momentum (lol) and the cash backing to see him over the line. He only needs 1 or 2 topics that strike a chord with the GBP and he will win. Corbyn will produce a 10 volume manifesto that won't resonate with anyone but a few enthusiasts
