Downstream: Party Politics is Broken w/ Jeremy Corbyn
Manage episode 428993659 series 3034213
Jeremy Corbyn was a Labour MP for almost four decades – and led the party at two general elections. This year however, and despite still being a party member, Corbyn was blocked from standing again in his seat of Islington North. As soon as Rishi Sunak declared a snap general election, and the Labour leadership chose a different candidate, Corbyn announced he would stand as an independent. He was consequently expelled as a party member. Defying all the odds Corbyn managed to keep his seat, winning almost fifty percent of the vote.
He sat down with Aaron Bastani to discuss that achievement, Labour’s performance more generally, the success of other independents elsewhere – and what the future holds for party politics in the UK. Are we moving towards a different kind of politics? One rooted in community, local networks and public service?
