Labour leadership: Jeremy Corbyn elected with huge mandate

[Political Junky]

UK elects Socialist Labor Leader despite Tony Blair's endorsement of another candidate. It seems Blair's rejection helped elect Corbyn. The Labor Party resents Blair's role in the Iraq War.

Labour leadership: Jeremy Corbyn elected with huge mandate

Jeremy Corbyn has been elected leader of the British Labour party, in a stunning first-round victory that dwarfed even the mandate for Tony Blair in 1994.

He won with nearly 59.5% of first-preference votes, beating rivals Andy Burnham, who trailed on 19%, and Yvette Cooper who received 17%. The “Blairite” candidate Liz Kendall came last on 4.5%.

I wonder what Labour will do now when 75% of its membership stops paying and joins the Tory party. We saw what a neo Marxist labour government would do and we will fight tooth and nail to stop them from throwing 12 year old girls to the muslims as bribes ever again.
