Corbyn was a convenient protest vote but I think most people are intelligent enough to know he'd be a terrible leader for this country.

May is making some monumental mistakes. Her most avid supporters will admit that (not that I am one of them). But it seems that Corbyn can do no wrong in the eyes of his blinkered, star-struck followers.

Anyone inteligent enough to understand Corbyn policies will be aware of his lack of interest in Marx. He's admittedly never even read the Communist Manifesto.

He's just a man who plans to renationalise the railways, the Royal Mail, water and energy system but he has no plans to abolish private property or nationalize big business. He wants to invest in infrastructure which will stimulate growth, improve productivity and raise living standards. That doesn't make him a communist as you wrongly suggest, it doesn't make him a socialist; it makes him a post-war Keynesian.
