Jeremy Corbyn: Corbyn and Kingdom Election

jeremy corbyn: The surprisingly strong showing by Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party represents a victory for the kind of old-school, left populism that used to motivate social democratic parties around the world, including Canada's New Democrats, according to The Chronicle Herald. While Labour didn't win the election, it did place a strong second, capturing 261 seats and denying Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservatives a majority in the Commons. But Thursday's United Kingdom election serves as a reminder that populism can take another form. For Corbyn, it was a feat that just a few weeks ago was routinely dismissed as impossible. Corbyn, a classic democratic socialist, who still promotes public ownership, was pronounced unelectable. At the beginning of the campaign, Labour appeared to be in shambles.
