He offers not one single alternative to what he would cut instead
Some fairly sensible people are saying that Osborne is nuts to carry on with the deficit reduction at all costs agenda.It really isn't that bad.

Always happens in the first year or two of government. The party in power does most of their unpopular changes. Then 18 months before an election, start being nice again. 
One would assume that the demographic that Corbyn has drawn to Labour is young, idealistic, and massively less likely to get its arse off the sofa on polling day than your stereotypical core Tory voter. Is that fair?

...methodologically perturbing... ...headline figures are somewhat misleading... ...Had we applied our new model, it alone would have resulted in a 3-point Conservative lead on our headline figures... ...The word ‘rogue’ is too often used in polling analysis, but in our view it is hard to believe this phone poll will escape such labelling....
Recent Poll history is really not reliable is it. Even the die-hard socialist luvvies are struggling to see where this is going .
I guess the local elections in May will be a good indicator as the Conservatives should get a good hiding in some areas and Labour should make some big gains.

This is my point. My theory is that the kind of dewy eyed left wing student that has rallied to Corbyn will support him all day on social media, then forget to go and vote because they overslept, or some such.
Young people are rubbish at voting, old people are great at it. So basing a election strategy on their votes is high risk, to say the least.

Just anecdotal admittedly but the Corbynites I've met would have been dewy eyed students in the 1960's and have never quite grown up. I think most of his 250,000 supporters are post menopausal slightly mad baby boomers ( mainly female ones ).
My 15yr old son was enthused joined up andand voted for him. he thinks he is a cock now

well hopefully once the referendum is over there'll be no more infighting vis-a-vis the EU (
) but this made me laugh:
The number of people who thought Chancellor George Osborne was handling the economy badly, 46 per cent, was double those who thought he was doing well, 23 per cent.
I suspect that compared to his shadow counterpart.... I really don't need to say much more do I?

I really don't think Call me Dave has been doing much to endear himself to even long term tory voters lately with his stance on the EU.
Hopefully when all the referendum hiatus has died down, things will get back to some kind of `normal' where people start to remember again that the labour party has been disastrous for the UK`s economy every single time it gets into No 10.
