It is foolish to believe the polls too much in a first past the post context such as the UK, but as the gap between the Labour Party and the Tories seems to narrow dramatically it is hard to resist the delirium. My sources are Aaron Bastani on twitter as listers would know and the group that he is linked to George Galloway, Richard Seymour, James Butler, & Owen Jones. My absolute joy though is to tune into the Artist Taxi Driver youtube channel (Chunky Mark) and listen to his latest rant. The accent is strongly London and that might cause difficulties but stay with him and just go with the passion. The link is athttps:// www.youtube.com/user/chunkymark. The big question now is can Corbyn do it? Can he win? Personally I doubt it but i am very aware that just a few weeks ago the question was "Can Corbyn prevent a Tory landslide that would wipe out Labour?" The Tories have campaigned badly, like really badly. They also have a deep structural problem, that has been partly obscured by the Brexit from the EU. The Tory project is in trouble. "Neoliberalism is dying in the night. ring out wild bells and let it die" I say and millions are beginning to say the same thing. Also in trouble are the Labour Moderates - those 200 odd ass wipes who opposed Corbyn with maximum treachery. They allowed Corbyn to have a left wing manifesto in order, I think, to exorcise finally the "poison" of leftism. *BUT* the manifesto proved popular. And now there seems no way back to Blairism and New Labour.
