I recently wrote about a brief stint on Tinder where I tried to convince people to vote for Jeremy Corbyn. Although my search for true love continues, what started as a gimmicky article idea actually ended up exposing some interesting perspectives on the leadership race. Admittedly, a lot of people were annoyed I wouldn’t meet up with them, didn’t care who Corbyn was or just ignored me when I started talking about politics. However, whilst right swiping my dignity away, I encountered a pro-Corbyn Ukip voter.
No, you read that right. Voted Ukip; loved Corbyn. He told me the reason he was attracted to Ukip was because of Farage, and the impression he gives of being sincere. “You won’t see him pussy foot around the question like all these politicians and that’s the same with Corbyn, he answers questions straight and that’s what I like about him. I love someone who stands up for what they believe in.” He even said he’d consider joining to vote for Corbyn.
