May was more like a populist at the last election. You might not agree with Corbyn, but he sticks to his principals and justifies them to you. May just has slogans and no detail or political philosophy that tells you how she might act in future, beyond always looking out for her own self interest.

Oh, sorry. You were being serious, weren't you.
