Here in Canada we laughed at the NDP before the last election, the leftist of all three parties. The NDP won the election in the most conservative province in the country and it's slated to possibly form the next federal government (current polls, but that can change). Now it's them that are laughing.
For all the talk of the rise of right wing, and right wing nationalism, it's the leftist parties across the west that are consistently forming governments and dictating policy and the right is relegated to shouting from the sidelines, or moving closer to the centre to win elections. Just as David Cameron did.
And if that doesn't make you think, let this sink in for a minute...here in Canada, the conservative party is overwhelmingly backed by non-white immigrants and their children (ethnic population). The old adage, right wing is white, left wing is everyone else is no longer a valid assumption.
I would be concerned about Corbyn, he may surprise the Brits in 5 years. Especially if Cameron doesn't deliver the results the electorate wants. Being an assured politician with a clear message, even if that message is flawed is becoming a winning formula. Corbyn is a SJW, a socialist, and as left as they come, but he's not hiding it. He's not backtracking from it, he's sure of himself and his policies. Voters are drawn to that kind of confidence.
