A week ago he lost an Election but Jeremy Corbyn can still win the vote for Beard of the Year 2019
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the process of determining the Beard of the Year 2019 is drawing to close. The on-line poll to determine the winner is open and will conclude on December 24th
The winner is announced on December 28th following an Electoral College review of the poll leaders. This has become necessary in recent years because of bot activity on the poll.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn currently lies 4th and is well positioned for an attempt at victory in the last days of the poll, if he has the support.
The criteria for Beard of the Year is as follows:
The Award is NOT about people who grow beards in their bedrooms and post pictures of them on the internet
The Award IS about people with consistent beards in the public eye who promote a positive image of the hirsute
TV doctor Xand Van Tulleken and cosmologist Peter Coles currently at Maynooth University in Ireland shared the Award in 2018.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Election didn’t go well for Jeremy Corbyn but he could still win the Beard of the Year vote. As we saw he is not universally liked so the poll has lots of other contenders for people to vote for too.

I’m trying to find a beard that’ll connect with the north, but I also want to find a beard that’ll appeal to my more metropolitan side.
