We are a modern, leading country in the world; we enjoy massive liberal freedoms, some of the best human rights in the world; we have business big & small everywhere and encourage innovative commerce whilst also sharing in some social projects, like the NHS & state schooling. I simply don't understand the appeal of the far-left, certainly not nationally, and not in the Labour Party. Labour should be a centre-political group, as Blair & co made it, with substantial differences to the Tories but nothing dangerously radical. The appeal of radical left-wing militancy is a real danger across Europe & even in the United States, but I would have hoped that here in Britain we would have gone past having a left-wing union-nut [see what I did there?] like Jeremy Corbyn or the Shadow Chancellor as the leader of the main opposition party!
Millions of people are in deep shit. The Conservatives have failed them, they want an alternative.
