Sorry, but what makes you an outsider? > The number of crackpot acolytes around Corbyn grows every day (thankfully, he remains unpopular with voters). I would vote for Labour normally...but their current policies are just...ignorant. These ideas have been tried, they didn't work, that is why Corbyn has support amongst young people who don't read books. You've obviously taken all of this as an attack on your personal view of politics and its intersection with economics. However, instead of reflecting on why the economists that have associated themselves with Labour are criticizing your politic, you've taken to calling them crackpots. Robert Skidelsky certainly has the credentials to be taken seriously, regardless if you agree or not. Throwing out a few points that are _directly refuted_ by Skidelsky doesn't make for useful or productive criticism. Together, this isn't the mark of an outsider. At best you're a 'useful idiot' in the Chomskyian sense, at worst you're the economist that supports violent austerity the article is criticizing.
