With almost 60% of the party vote Jeremy Corbyn is the new British Labour Leader. It is reported that 6 back benchers will resign in protest. Jeremy has said QE for the people will be more effective than QE for the bankers.

Could this be Labour's way of gaining public confidence and then sack Corbyn after they win the next election or is there fundamental change happening in British Labour ?

If this extremist ever becomes Prime Minister, the UK will be finished. Corbyn would make the old Soviets and old Chairman Mao blush with his extremism and admiration of Hamas and Hezbollah. How could Labour go so far to the left!

ttbn what could be more extreme with the present system that have central bankers owning our Western Govts via the debt money creation system that is destroying our economies and living standards ?

The worry is that the socialists will throw the baby out with the bathwater and expect Govt to become producers and providers. That will be another disaster. The central bankers with their QE have destroyed all free markets and we are looking at a total market melt down.

I have never heard of this guy until today, so I looked him up on abc.com.au.

"Jeremy Corbyn's views on:
Economy
Opposed to austerity program, more aligned with Greece's radical Syriza party
Advocates redistributive policies such as rent controls and high taxes on businesses and wealthy individuals
Proposes "maximum wage" to curb excessive management pay
Hostile to free trade agreement being negotiated by the EU and US
Wary of EU's "market system" and its treatment of Greece
Defence
A staunch pacifist, anti-war and nuclear programs, a critic of the NATO alliance
Called for dialogue with the militant Palestinian Hamas movement and Lebanon's powerful Hezbollah as part of Middle East peace talks
Says he will apologise for Britain's role in the Iraq invasion
Immigration
Resisted calls to promise tighter border controls
Open to the idea of women-only carriages on public transport to reduce sexual harassment"

Nope, I can't see too much wrong with his views...

Arjay,

I'm not sure I get your drift about bankers. The developed world seems to be existing on debt - hence the bankers. Socialist's whole pysche operates on spending other people's money, so wouldn't there be more enslavement to the bankers with the likes of Corbyn In charge?

Most debts is still private debt. People no longer save for something they want: they get the bank to pay for it. I think politicians are actually following the plebs (in their own vote-greedy selfishness) because people living on the never-never system can see no reason why goverments can't do the same to provide them with welfare, health care, roads education and all the things governments are expected to provide. As the Tory government has slipped further to the left to get the votes (as here as well) the people are now convinced of their "rights", and it is too horrible to even think about this extreme sociaist taking over the country.

Women only carriages? Is he taking the piss? I can't wait until they introduce up blacks only carriages to reduce racial abuse. Alabama will love it even if nobody else does.
