Meet Jeremy Corbyn's young backers and the ones not so sure
- Published
Let's be honest, when he casually strolled into the race to become Labour leader most people were asking "Jeremy who?"
He may have been an MP for more than 30 years but Jeremy Corbyn was unknown to many and critics claimed he was too left wing to stand a chance.
Since then support for the 66-year-old has snowballed and much of it is down to young people.
On the day voting closes in the contest he's the runaway favourite for the job.
Jeremy Corbyn at his final campaign rally in Nuneaton
Jeremy Corbyn says he's been pretty delighted at the number of young faces staring back at him during campaign events.
But what is it about the man who now looks on the verge of one of the biggest shocks in politics for years?
And if he does become Labour leader on Saturday, will the movement he's started make a difference to the party's chances of getting elected?
Newsbeat met some of his young supporters at a campaign rally in Nuneaton, an area Labour were hoping to win back in the General Election but ended up losing out to the Conservatives.
James Edmunds, 17
""I'm not even old enough to vote but I really believe in the message of hope he is delivering.
"A lot of politicians just behave like politicians but if you think of the success that UKIP has had it's because Nigel Farage is a bit of a character.
"Jeremy Corbyn is very different when it comes to his ideas but people are fed up with politicians giving safe answers and not saying what they believe in and that's what Jeremy Corbyn has done so well at."

Rob voted for the Green Party in the election
"I voted for the Green Party in May. I couldn't trust Ed Miliband and all the main parties seemed to bleed into one.
"I think Jeremy Corbyn is the biggest alternative in major politics that anyone has seen for a really long time.
"His authenticity is his biggest appeal. Even if he doesn't win, it's obvious that a lot of people are thinking the way he thinks and that can no longer be ignored. "
Rosie Kimber, 24
Rosie: "Jeremy was amazing"
"His speech was amazing and inspirational tonight. He has real values and to see them in action and to hear him is great.
"I think he will win over some Tory voters. His policies aren't just left wing, they are what people want. His views on the NHS are really important to me.
"The other three candidates don't seem to have anything about them. They're just poster people."
Aidan O'Toole, 19
"These events are so popular because he is genuine and believes in the policies he stands for.
"If you've got all these people joining the party and coming to these events it proves Labour can win again.
The Labour Party didn't win in May because they didn't attack the Conservatives enough. They were almost like the light-blue party. "
Meanwhile...on the high street
Away from the bubble of a campaign rally is where opinions really matter. Winning elections is about more than getting support from already politically active people.
Jeremy Corbyn's success as a potential Labour leader will only count if he can also win over those with no interest in joining political parties or giving up time to watch speeches.
In May's general election nearly 5,000 more people chose to vote Conservative in Nuneaton over Labour.
If Labour can't reverse public opinion here, their hopes of ending up in government are in trouble.
Craig Bean, 27
Craig narrowly voted Tory over Labour in May
"I voted Conservative in the last election but I did sort of 'um and ah' over which party to support.
"I didn't like everything the Tory party were doing and I liked some of the things Labour were saying but I didn't really believe Ed Miliband was strong enough to be prime minister.
"If Labour lurch to the left with Jeremy Corbyn I don't think it would win me over. I don't think saying you need to end austerity is necessarily a good idea."
Lewis Birch, 24
"I think immigration is the main issue in Nuneaton and I don't think Jeremy Corbyn's policies on that would be a good thing at all.
"But I do agree with his plan to re-nationalise the railways.
"There's definitely not a sense of Corbynmania here, I didn't even know he was here and don't know much about him."
