Do I have to mention the elderly with Brexit? That was the very definition of gullible as people fell for Farage and Boris's bull**** that haven't come to pass and will never come to pass.

So it's not a fact about Brexit but it is about Corbyn? Interesting.

That's because (again) you're making a presumption about why and who voted for Brexit.

Its not only the youth. Are you saying anyone who believes Corbyn politics is gullible?

Potentially. I think anyone who buys into what a politician is telling them is being suckered really. They never keep their promises.

This is massively aggressive politicking on Corbyn's and Labour's part. Using Trump too, wow, Corbyn's Labour have upped their game. The Tories need to take note!
We are becoming more and more like the US politically.

Yes I can completely agree with that. Whoever is advising him is definitely earning their wage.

Good on him.
For way too long the younger electorate and future electorate have been ignored by politicians. This is a good move and more to the point,a very natural thing for him. This is what he does to good effect and his sincerity as to it is recognised by such younger people. It's not them being gullible at all, it is that he can and does engage with them By talking 'to' them and not 'at' them. |

The 'Oh Jeremy Corbyn' chants are tragic
Fair play to him, his transformation has been remarkable in the last few months and Glastonbury has always been a political festival but it is interesting how the cult of personality around Corbyn becomes bigger and bigger. For many of Labour's new and young supporters he is as synonymous with Labour now as Ukip were with Farage |

The tories treat everyone as if they're 5! Look at the patronising tone may had when she suggested to that nurse who hadn't had a wage rise in 8yrs there was no 'magic money tree'!! condescending, lying toad!

The Corbyn revolution!
James Callaghan, the Labour prime minister defeated in 1979, said to his advisor just before polling day, ‘There’s a sea change in politics. Whatever we do, this election is all about Mrs Thatcher.’ Thatcher went on to achieve the largest swing since the war. There is a sea change now. The 2017 British general election has been all about Mr Corbyn – who has just achieved the biggest increase in party vote-share since the war. A sea change: not just another election, but a turning of the tide, a massive underlying shift in British politics, a rebirth of reformism, of social democracy, of Labour as the radical popular movement it was always intended to be. We are witness to the beginning of a once-in-a-generation transformation of the whole political landscape. and its so fcuking exciting ![]()

The young, the tolerant, and the idealistic voted Labour. The old, the complacent, and the xenophobic voted Tory. This election was about two nations and two visions of what our society should be like
