Corbyn just doesn't seem to have taken off, I've heard various reasons why.
Round here they see him as been a bit mung bean and socks-and-sandals. They like their labour leaders to have a bit more knackers about them. I personally think he's decent, although he needs to speak out more. Half his policies are still a fucking mystery to me.

True, I agree, some are undoubtedly racist. The point was more that just simplifying all voting Leave, UKIP, BNP down to "it's because they're racist" misses out a whole range of other issues.
@radmich Corbyn just doesn't seem to have taken off, I've heard various reasons why.
I think his difficulty in getting his message across and the presence of very few politicians who appear to actually be anything other than professional politicians (with the exception of a few who started off in law, marketing, etc) make today's politician's very difficult to relate to.
Also, his views on defence don't enamour him to a lot of traditional working class people I know.
