It's difficult to judge people one's never met. However, Corbyn has views that he's been fairly constant with over his career, including a dislike of the EU but obviously for very difficult ideological reasons to Farage. I think many people trust him because of this constancy and openness in expressing them. I've heard he's kept his seat because he cares about and helps his constituents; however, many people don't like his politics but he is a democrat and if the labour party conference wants a second referendum he'll follow that but mindful, as a democrat, that the first referendum result was to leave. Farage appears to be a one issue person, and because of his particular background in broking, I feel there's a lot of self interest involved rather than concern for others. I wouldn't trust him on other issues, like supporting the NHS, as I've seen reports of inconsistent statements on that.
