Sir

it is becoming increasingly rare to find a politician who has  sincere convictions.

Most politicians appear desperate to curry favour with the electorate and change their  fickle opinions according to which way the wind blows.

Therefore when  a  conviction politician comes along things are bound to get lively.

It is hardly surprising then that Jeremy Corbyn has stirred up a hornets nest.
  He is that rare   phenomenon namely a conviction politician as was  my ancestor the  political firebrand, David Lloyd- George.
Lloyd-George was  firm in  his convictions  and this  strategic wizard felt that oppositional political  strategy was the only way to success..
  Now we have Jeremy Corbyn who has  strong convictions and this plainly comes across when he speaks.
Whether his convictions are good for the country or not, people sense that he is sincere.

This is in stark contrast to the likes of Ed Miliband who employed an expensive American spin doctor,  namely David Axelrod.
Axelrod  never even set foot in this country during the election campaign and  he did not have a clue about the germane political issues.

Had Miliband possessed his own  inner convictions he would not have needed to waste £300,000 of Labour donours` money.

So now Jeremy Corbyn has set the cat among the pigeons and the Labour Party is in disarray.

They need to ask themselves an intelligent question.

Do voters wish for an oppositional Party or a pale watered down  imitation of the Party in power?
