This whole thing has galvanized the political debate in the country. I never fail to go to vote, but for the last 3 general elections I have been writing across the middle of the balot paper, 'NONE OF THE ABOVE' No one represents my view, there are probably millions like me who do not relate to any of the present political parties and dont bother to vote. The result is the same old, same old.

Since Thatcher, British political parties have polarising to the right, courting favour with media magnates, huge global businesses and financial institutions and the result has been governments and policies that pander to the party paymasters rather than the electorate, soo much for democracy. And a big payday when politicians leave office re Blair the billionaire, Straw, Blunkett, they're all greasing their palms right now and these are the socialists, so called.

The result has seen a wholesale hoovering up of all our national assets which have fallen into private hands, many of which have found their way into portfolios of foreign interest, British institutions now owned by German, French and Middle Eastern outfits, whoes only concern is to make profit from us not to work for us.

The British electorate have become so brow beaten that there is a common belief that there is no alternative and hold up our hands and wonder what can we do about it, we see them as all the same; the only answer is more of the same and afterall its the idle and the ****less who are to blame.

The Corbyn factor has re energised the debate, that there just may be an alternative, that we dont have to pay £3bn a year to subsidise private companies, and we can ensure that more than the 1 in 4 of British companies pay their taxes, the avoidance of which costs us £70bn a year. Put a stop to the wholesale financial rape of the country and its assets, and we are looking at an alternative solution to austerity.........afterall who is it who is suffering from austerity? certainly not those who created it.

If Corbyn wins, I cant see him being the leader, the Media Barrons, and the right wing Labour Millionaires will see to that, nor can I see the Labour party winning an election for the same reason, but I do think he will have paved the way for others and I hope offer a real alternative for the country to bring back some balance in politics, give us back our country and maybe we can have a fair and just society again.
