Sorry, I don't understand. Here's my summary of our current conversation.
1. You say Corbyn can't get elected.
2. I ask you why.
3. You imply that his views do not line up with what people want.
4. I ask you which of his views are out of touch with public opinion.
5. You suggest the main problem you have with his views is that he believes in re-nationalising, and you remember how badly public industries were run.
6. I provide evidence that public services were badly run on purpose in order to pave the way for privatisation.
7. You reply that it's interesting but it's immaterial because Corbyn can't get elected.
If I've misunderstood something of this conversation in your opinion, please clarify what that is.
I personally don't see the problem with re-nationalising the railways in the UK (to give one example of a Corbyn policy), especially if the incentive to run them poorly on purpose is taken away (i.e. not having a government that's interested in privatising it). The rail service in the UK has become vastly overpriced (compared with other developed nations) since the railways were privatised. Delays and cancellations are still commonplace too. I don't see what great benefits the privatisation of the the UK rail system has brought us.
