These are people's first impressions of Jeremy Corbyn
- Published
Jeremy Corbyn has been leader of the Labour Party for less than a month but he knows that first impressions matter.
This week he gets the chance to set out what kind of leader he is when he speaks to the Labour Party conference in Brighton.
He may have won the overwhelming majority of votes in the leadership contest but his big test will be to win over the general public.
Just down the road from Brighton is the marginal constituency of Hove.
Voters there narrowly elected a Labour MP back in May, so what are their early thoughts on the new leader of the opposition?
Joe Anderton, 18 - Jeremy Corbyn is a good change
I'm new to politics but I felt the Tories and Labour were becoming the same thing and there was not much difference between them.
Jeremy Corbyn is taking things back to how it used to be. He comes across as very unassuming and people can relate to him.
Lydia Bartlam, 26 - Jeremy Corbyn is a man with his head in the clouds
I've heard some of his ideas and I just think he just has unrealistic goals for this country.
His plans just won't work and I don't think people will vote for him. There's no way he could ever be prime minister.
Max Farrow, 18 - Jeremy Corbyn is not for me
He just seems a bit stuck in the past with what he's saying. For me, he's a bit old school but not in a good way.
I don't like his policy on things like Syria when he says he would oppose military intervention. The UK needs to assert some dominance and show support.
Joseph Lidster, 24 - Jeremy Corbyn is a socialist and there's nothing wrong with that
In this 'every man for himself' society that we live in, he definitely divides opinion. I think he has values that we had lost in this country.
He wants to help the poor and give back to the people the things that belong to them such as the railways. Labour can't do much worse than they did in the last election so he is a big improvement.
Rob Davies, 18 - Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable
He doesn't seem to have a strong plan for the country.
He wants to let in more refugees but doesn't seem to have set out how we could accommodate them.
He's not in favour of Britain having nuclear weapons which I don't think is a good thing. We may never use them but it's about the defence of our own country and we're less likely to be attacked.
Christina Morrison, 25 - A reason to hope
There were so many powerful people who were dead against him getting this job and the fact he still won gives me hope for democracy in this country.
The fact that people think his ideas are so radical just shows how far right conventional politics has gone.
Nothing he has said is particularly radical - he just wants to reform things.
Ged Butcher, 35 - Jeremy Corbyn is refreshing
He's less pomp and ceremony than the others.
He speaks the truth and he talks about what normal people want to hear.
He's saying what a lot of normal working class people think.
Realistically, he probably won't win a general election but he's shaken things up a bit and that's got to be a step in the right direction.
