WHY would people vote for Jeremy Corbyn? Do voters understand what a Labour Government under him would be.
First of all, it would not all be Labour or Socialism as most voters would believe, but it would be Communism or Marxism.
Corbyn’s biggest backers are hard left-wing – the leader of Unite, Len McCluskey and Jack Whelan of ASLEF who is behind the crippling Southern Rail strikes and has promised ten years of misery to passengers. He regards Corbyn as the “messiah”.
Corbyn is backed by Momentum, a left-wing movement in the Labour Party whose aim to take over local Labour parties with the aim of de-selecting moderate MPs.
If elected Prime Minister, we would have a leader who won’t sing the National Anthem, is definitely not a pacifist as he is an ardent supporter of such terrorist groups as Hamas, Hezbollah and even the IRA. From this you can deduce which side he is on and it is not the one of this country.
I am not writing this as a “blinkered Tory” who can only vote for one party. I was a Labour voter for years but did not leave the party, the party left me.
I would welcome replies as to why anyone would vote for a party which if elected would take us back to the days of the 1970s and 1980s with all the strife caused by the unions.
