Day 124: Corbyn

[Silent Hunter]

Jeremy Corbyn, Lab, Islington North.

Now I know this guy's a Trot- he writes for the Morning Star IIRC.

[Serenity Now]

The Morning Star isn't specifically a Trotskyite, or communist, paper anymore.. It's a broader (far) left paper which includes many democratic leftists. That's not to say its not full of Trots though..


When it comes to certain issues he's pretty decent, but I don't like Trots or any revolutionary Marxists for that matter..

The problem with a lot of people on the Labour far left is they're okay as a opposition force but I wouldn't trust them to run a country (I doubt many o them wouldn't nearly be so defensive of civil liberties etc. if they had their way)..

Nonetheless, I think he's a Bennite more than anything..

[merseysider]

He's a loon.

This did not however stop the LibDems from putting out leaflets in Islington North at the last election which described him as 'Blair's Man'!
