Last Friday, the British Labour Party introduced an “assisted dying” bill into parliament. The following day, in an attempt to demonstrate that they stood squarely behind the measure, the party’s members elected Jeremy Corbyn as their new leader.
Since 1974, Labour has won only three elections — all of them under the moderate stewardship of Tony Blair. By selecting a rabble-rousing socialist to lead it into the future, the British Left has sent a clear message to the public at large. That message? That it is happy to lose in perpetuity if it can moan and emote along the way. In The Road to Wigan Pier, George Orwell worried aloud that his coveted socialist agenda would never be realized if its implementation were to remain in the hands of the “prigs.” “It would help enormously,” Orwell concluded, “if the smell of crankishness which still clings to the Socialist movement could be dispelled.” “If only the sandals and the pistachio-coloured shirts could be put in a pile and burnt, and every vegetarian, teetotaller, and creeping Jesus sent home to Welwyn Garden City to do his yoga exercises quietly,” then — and only then — would the Left have a shot at power. Combining the mien of a burned-out geography teacher at a third-rate comprehensive school with the speaking style of a self-satisfied undergraduate Trotskyite, Jeremy Corbyn is precisely the kind of socialist Orwell feared. One can only imagine how he’d suffer if he were alive to watch his rise.
Lest anyone unfamiliar with British politics get the wrong impression, it might help to understand that when Corbyn’s critics suggest that he is an “extremist” within the British political firmament, they mean it quite literally.

Never underestimate the ability of those on either side of the pond to vote for a compete idiot.
Remember, we beat GB to the punch by electing a totally unqualified and provably low IQ idiot now known as Dorkbama the Muslim.
Here’s what Jeremy Corbyn will do as Prime Minister:
* He would aim to rid Britain of its nuclear arsenal,
* To withdraw the country from NATO,
* To throw open the UK’s borders to all and sundry.
* He hopes to re-nationalize the railways and, possibly, the utility companies;
* To raise the top rate of tax above 50 percent;
* To encourage the Bank of England to print vast amounts of money in order to fund whatever “infrastructure” projects he happens to prefer.
* Support the Irish Republican Army
* Support Hezbollah and Hamas
Just to name a few...

The biggest fear the liberals/progressives have us that there are/will-be too many people on this planet.
They seriously believe that the planet can only have thirty million people.
They ignore the fact that it’s presently supporting several billion.
And the con men use these idiots to change things to provide them with easy money.
With the current conservatives they hardly need the Labour Party.
The Conservatives drove the Labour Party left. Whodathunkit?
GO UKIP!
Sounds remotely familiar to someone here in the US...................If I could just remember who..........................
They are saying because of new rule, lot of UKIP and Tory people re-registered and voted for most leftist candidate, so that labor can’t win seats again.
Even Labor party supporters are saying, this guy is still in 70s thinking.
Bernie Sanders with a British accent.
