Why are the politics of Corbyn unelectable?

... because the news media (nearly all right-wing) won't accept it.

"It is a crying shame that there is no opposition to hold the government to account."

At least Corbyn is genuinely different to the government. Red Tories wouldn't hold the government to account because they are much the same as the government.
