He found the holy grail of progressive politics and got young people to campaign and vote. Both by strongly appealing to their interests, by engaging very heavily with social media, and with an app that let them phonebank from home.

Him having popular policies e.g. nationalise all the monopolies.

To get the turnout he has it has to be popular policies.

It would be incredibly difficult for Labour to have won outright. That sort of result would have literally been epochal, and in this thread there's no way you should have that much hope.

So long as Corbyn hangs Parliament and can put together a better coalition than whoever the digglefuck ends up running the Tories, it'll still be a historic victory.

Rees-Mogg is the actual embodiment of Tory toffs. In all fairness to him, he at least believes in the noblesse oblige part of the equation as well, and there are worse out there.

He's the fascist posh boy from a Jeeves and Wooster Novel and he plays up to it. He's inhuman garbage and should be treated as such.

Check out their manifesto:

It was strong, clear, compassionate and went over extremely well with the public.
