I don't think he's very likeable at all. Nothing to do with his politics

- well I suppose it is, but someone like Alan Johnson is eminently likeable, & would have won the last election by a landslide.

previously I referenced a Ch.4 news interview where he became aggressive & petulant. This interview was mentioned on the Daily Politics yesterday by John Culshaw, who nailed his imitation of Corbyn superbly (his description of Cameron wasn't exactly flattering either).

Corbyn seems to be one of those authoritarian left wingers who doesn't really believe in democracy, as he is convinced on the intellectual superiority of his world view, & believes the imposition of his own vision would be best for everyone.

He may or may not be right. The problem I see is that the complexity of human life exceeds any intellectual model of it. We can all see the problems, but nobody's yet come up with a better solution than muddling through.
