Me too.
Under 'Why do you want to join the Labour party?' I put 'To vote for a leftist leader who isn't Jeremy Corbyn.'
It was the day of the result and straight after watching the Vice documentary. It's just not going to happen under Corbyn. He's not Bernie Sanders and he's not Tsipras. Not only can Corbyn not get his message across, he seems to think it's not all that important that he does. He thinks it's about being correct rather than reaching people. Same problem Tony Benn had, that kind of slightly above politics thing. I'm trying to avoid the word vanity because I don't know the guy. But if we want to see leftist policies implemented then we have to work out the distance between true believer and crusader.

I joined the Labour party last night. Such was my pissed offness with Corbyn's failure to prevent Brexshit. Not sure what I'm going to do with my new superpower beyond go to a local meeting and turn over a table.
