My concerns are that Corbyn will be perceived as too radically left by the general mainstream of society and that, for all the feel-good factor surrounding his appointment, it'll mean nothing if it only results in an even greater Tory majority than we already have. And I'm not really sure how any kind of personal political involvement can change that. Going on marches that he endorses/attends is fine but I doubt it does much to broaden his electoral appeal.
The Labour party have elected a leader. It's now just a case of waiting and seeing how many people in the country actually want him. Personally I'm skeptical, increasingly as much about Corbyn himself as I am his broader appeal, but we'll have to wait and see. The biggest problem (for me) with Labour is that there wasn't a more moderate candidate who looked like a realistic alternative.
