He doesn't have a point of view at the moment.
Trump energised a base in the same way that Obama did. They voted for some type of fundamental change in their lives and didn't really care how that is achieved. They wanted easy and soothing answers to difficult questions.
"Why don't I have the things that I want when I followed the right path? I worked hard, paid taxes and looked after my family yet why can't I buy a decent house?"
"Because rich people/immigrants/Politicians have fucked you over."
Corbyn is playing the same game. As did Macron to a degree.
The fact is that globalisation hasn't had the enriching effects on the middle classes that everybody expected. There are plenty of hard working people who didn't get the future they were promised and are now angry and will vote for anyone who validates their anger.
The failings of this brand of globalisation are complicated, and require rigorous academic and economic study to see where the distribution of wealth broke down in the system. But that's a somewhat vague yet truthful answer. People don't like stopping and working things out, people like people who claim to already have answers. Any action is better than any inaction.
So when a politician comes along and points to somebody else as the reasoning why all your dreams have failed, people gravitate towards it. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it just has to sound more truer than the other guys answers. It's how the far right is on the rise too - nobody in the political spectrum has more clarity and conviction over their beliefs. These beliefs are obvious horseshit but they sound like they might be true and they say it with lots of belief so people always go far right in times of economic or social uncertainty.
Trump is a imperfect solution to a complicated problem. Like climate change, humans aren't really very good at solving these types of complicated problems that lack good analogies. Much easier to point at Brown people or rich people or politicians. Everybody can understand that.
