  • Starmer has what they view as competence in spades, and Corbyn didn't. It's superficial, but I think a huge portion of the public think the same way.

    Corbyn is very competent on policy. He's been at this for decades. Starmer can probably put on a veneer of competence (superficial, as you say), but he's simply not experienced enough, and this will show eventually. He hasn't been under any significant pressure yet. Anyway, I wish him well, and we still don't know yet what his true colours are, only some worrying signs, so let's give him time. It'll be a long five years ...

  • Corbyn is very competent on policy.

    I'm just wondering what this means exactly? Are you saying he's familiar with the technical side of how policy is made, that he's good at generating watertight policy (but not necessarilly policies that the majority agree with), that he's good at generating popular policies, or something else?
