"Corbyn is sensible enough to implement only incremental change. It won't trash the economy or the country."
That sounds like a lot of hope. So he wont try to make the changes within the 5 years he is in power if he was to be elected? As for trash the economy- Venezuela.
"He only wants to raise corporation tax very slightly for example back to what it was just a few years ago."
That all? No peoples quantitative easing? No rent controls? No building trident to please the unions but not arm it to please his followers? No nationalising?
"Their manifesto has been fully costed"
Their 'ideas' have also been tried and failed. The outcome being fairly well known.
"British Rail had its faults but our trains can't get much worse than they are now. Extremely overpriced, dirty, cramped and unreliable."
Yes they can, they could be in government hands. Why do they cost so much for dirty, cramped and unreliable? Because people will pay for it. There is a fixed amount of track and the state of the track is not in private hands so why is the gov not adding more track and maintaining it better? Why do public services tend to be accused of underinvestment when it is run by the utopia of big gov? Because the gov wants voters which means big and shiny (think of any of those projects?), things that can be seen. Maintenance is low on that list.
