Jeremy Corbyn’s stock has been on a wild ride since 2015. When he was elected leader of the British Labour party, many of his parliamentary colleagues greeted him with disapproval and dismay. After the June 2017 general election result brought two years of Conservative majority rule to an end and saw Labour surge to a once-unthinkable 40% of the vote, many of his harshest critics were falling over themselves to reverse their assessment. But in the level-headed mindset between between furious disapproval and euphoric reconciliation, how should Corbyn really be judged? The author suggests that Corbyn must up both his game and the party’s. Ironically, he’s been successful because he’s driven by ideals rather than pure political interest. If he can reconcile that conscience with a bit more political cunning, real success is far from out of the question. No one can predict the future of British politics right now. |
