Are any of his advisors disabled, or !!!!!exual? or Buddhist? or transgender?
I don't know.

One presumes that you've checked and found that their are, since you only played the sex and race cards.

Nope. Being white and male are very obvious traits that kinda stand out whereas sexuality doesn't.

Do you think it's reasonable that the UK should basically be governed by white men? I'd hoped that we'd come a long way from that. Mr Corbyn seems to think otherwise. !

Well one criteria for deselection could be those MPs who no longer stood by the manifesto on which people voted for the Labour Party.

Corbyn was the most rebellious Labour voter in the commons for 13 straight years - 1997-2010

He's only been edged out by one John McDonnell the now Shadow Chancellor.

If he'd lived by his own (new proposed) rules, his career would have been over decades ago.

Ah, so you want a bit more equality, but only for certain 'types' of people. Interesting.

What proportion of the cabinet and shadow cabinet are white men?

Where did Generali state he only wanted equality for certain types of people?

Seems like you're building a strawman argument here....

Every policy advisor that I've seen announced is a white man. Half the shadow cabinet is female yet every senior post went to a white man.

I just looked up the shadow cabinet (blimey, that was dismal reading). There's really not a great deal of heavyweight choice now all the Blairites are sulkily licking their wounds, is there?

People are going to choose not to vote for him on the basis of his lefty policies, not because they think he's a "misogynist" on the flimsy basis of his advisors' gender.

Nationalism is on the increase in these austerity driven times. Not socialism. Conceivable to have a left wing EU sceptical Government.

Indeed. Corbyn wants out of the EU. It's the only way he can nationalize the energy companies and print money for public spending.

No, I want Mr Corbyn's advisers to refleft the wider society.

Basically half the shadow cabinet is white men. However, all the senior posts are held by white men.

What's the representation of gingers like? The Lib Dems were always progressive in their appointment of these to the most senior positions.
