Don't know if you ever listen to the Guardian Politics podcast?
The one just after Corbyn's election, has one talking head/voice
proclaim that 'the left' never expected to win, or necessarily gain enough MP's votes to be nominated, and that after successive drubbings for other Party elections,
it was Corbyn's 'turn' to stand, on the basis that the electorate deserved to hear that there was an alternative viewpoint to varying grades of austerity.
I'm glad he did stand, and win,
as it should be easy to explain that you cannot 'cut your way out of recession',
which was precisely the 'U'-turn Osborne took to resuscitate the economy in 2012 after he had strangled the growth inherited from Darling in the first half of 2010.

Looks a bit like that, doesn't it...
