One of the refreshing aspects of Jeremy Corbyn's campaign has been his refusal to go in for personal attacks on his opponents .

He deals with issues , not personalities .

But on a personal note , there has been much criticism in recent years , not least on this forum , of the shameful abuse of expenses by parliamentarians . Throughout , and I am up for correction , but I sure I am right , Jeremy Corbyn has been the lowest claimer .

As for being a "left-wing socialist".....well I always thought socialists were by definition left-wing .

The Labour Party can stay as it is , a pink version of the Conservative Party , or it can return to its traditional values , socialist values , and give the electorate a choice . If they don't like it they won't vote for it .

It is interesting to say the least , and as for the knee-jerk reaction of some , no doubt fired up by what they encounter in the media , well I have seen it all before .
