At last! Something different to the usual bland right-wing politics we have been seeing over the past 20 years. Like him or hate him, everyone can agree that this is interesting for Britain.
On 12th September, the nation elected Jeremy Corbyn as the new labour leader after Ed Miliband lost the last general election. He won by a landslide of nearly 60%, miles ahead of runner-up Andy Burnham.
However, even though he apparently seems so popular, only approximately 20 members out of the Labour seats actually like the man. Which appropriately puts him as the 'man of the people', especially as he wishes to return to good old-fashioned left wing labour policies and steer the party away its recent more Conservative ways.
Something that might have appealed the younger voter is his reputation of protesting on the streets as a young man compared to being part of an elitist group at Cambridge like David Cameron.

So how can a man who is leader of a party that originally was for representing the working class, be ridiculed for riding a bike to work? Surely in a world of global warming, he should be a role model to all of us to reduce the carbon emissions we would be increasing by driving the car to work.
Instead of beating the man up about not singing the national anthem, why doesn't everyone just sit back and give him a chance?
