  Corbyn's victory seems to indicate Labor wants to move to the left and away from Blair-Brown era

  

  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.
