    It’s always interesting to think how far left ‘left-wing’ celebrities/politicians are. I often wonder how far left Corbyn actually is for example. He says a lot of thing which go way beyond the average socdem

      He’s an open socialist but he screwed up his chances by being too open about it and doing political suicide stuff like meeting literal terrorists, and his anti-vax brother doesnt help.

        He’s definitely a socialist but I’m not sure exactly how far. I think his choices were as you say ‘political suicide’ or basically becoming Bernie which isn’t ideal. He made the best decision from what he had, it’s better to be a dissenting voice in parliament than an ineffectual Prime Minister. Ultimately the political establishment would never allow real change as we all know and I only hope Corbyn trying that path and failing radicalised some would-be socdems.
