When Jeremy Corbyn entered the race to lead the Labor Party earlier this year, he struggled to get the 35 nominations from members of parliament needed to make it onto the ballot. That is a distant memory after he won a resounding victory to become the leader of the party. With 59.5% of the first-preference votes, Corbyn's mandate beats that won by Tony Blair in 1994.

    The consensus is that the LABOUR party has selected a new leader in order to follow the LibDems into oblivion. (NB. It's only Labor in America).

    @2. Even better, Corbyn aims to reverse every policy formulated over the last 20 or more years. Borrow, cosy up to the Russians, deny British values, encourage muslim invaders, forget the prices Britain has paid, leading from the back, minority rule, puerile, rabid stupidity.

    For the rest, the real British people will do what is necessary. No room for Corbyn. Would Britain really want this incompetent, commie idiot to represent it in the world? Better to shoot it!

    Dusty Corbin will Destroy Britain if he ever gets the chance.
    His victory can be put down to voter disillusionment with politicians in general.
