A return to Labour core values

"With his first act as Labour leader being to attend a rally for the refugee crisis, it is clear that Jeremy Corbyn has struck a chord with those among us who dislike the selfish politics Britain has pursued and want something better for our country. Whilst Cameron was wearing t-shirts proposing we hang the 'terrorist' Nelson Mandela, Corbyn was protesting against apartheid and I don't think any other anecdote would serve just as well to portray the ideological division and long awaited contrast between two party leaders."

I like what I've seen ajd read about corbyn too. Ironically a lot of it has been biased against him and yet still he comes out on top for me.

As an outsider I am intrigued by what this might mean for politics generally. In Australia our Labor Party has the same problem (being centre-right, because the conservative government is far right). I think it's fair to say that Obama's presidency has had to be less lefty than it might otherwise have been because the whole conversation in western politics has moved so inexorably right. It would be lovely to see some fair dinkum left wing ideas being discussed as part of the mainstream political process. I have despaired at how selfish and capitalist we've become in the last 20 years. It is definitely time the pendulum swung back the other way to address the awful decision making our governments have made, that in turn have normalised some truly brutal positions amongst the general populace ( that phrase 'illegal refugees' springs to mind).
