My personal take on why JC's message is not hitting home is that, other than the young, most folks do not believe his vision can be delivered any more than the other sides can. Now how does it go. All we have to do is hit the rich a damned sight harder and we can solve all of our ills with those of us on 50K or less not feeling one iota of financial pain. What utter tripe. How can anyone seriously think (yet they do if I read this thread correctly) that the problems of the NHS, Social Care, Disabled, Poor and Police to name 5 off the top of my head. Plus give free bus transport to a swathe of young folks, refund the WASPI's, Renationalise the utility companies and part of the railways etc etc can be achieved without increasing the tax take on us all is beyond belief. And once you accept that truth what those on the left of the political spectrum are up against is that most folk, without being nasty, are generally speaking inward looking. What counts the most for all of us is 'me and mine' and to be honest I find nowt wrong with that opinion at all. Actually its a view I subscribe to on the basis that if I don't look out for myself then no bugger else will. Blair knew it thats why he positioned the party as he did. Corbyn just like Foot never learnt. Utopia exists only in our imagination.
