7 5 Issue 79 / 2015 GUESTLIST guestlist.net Jeremy Corbyn won the Labour leadership election by a landslide Kingpin Ne-Yo See who has been dropping in with us! DJ Yoda www.guestlist.net/tv is this the next Prime minister? Corbyn won the contest with a huge mandate, comfortably beating his nearest rival Andy Burnham who took 19% of votes. Speaking after his victory, he said, "The media and many of us, simply didn't understand the views of young people in our country. They were turned off by the way politics was being conducted. We have to and must change that. The fight back gathers speed and gathers pace". The Islington North MP and winner of Parliamentary Beard of the Year a record five times started the race as rank outsider, only nominated to widen the debate. He soon turned into the frontrunner thanks to his stunning campaign, which saw backing form the big trade unions Unison and Unite, and a host of new members who signed up to the party to take part in the vote. Labour now has one of the most left-wing leaders in its history. So what does Jeremy Corbyn stand for? Anti-austerity is his main economic stance. He wants to lower the deficit through growth, higher wages and higher taxation rather than through spending cuts. His central education proposal is to institute a National Education Service, doing for the sector what the NHS does for healthcare. He also wants to completely scrap tuition fees and bring free schools and academies into check. Corbyn was strongly opposed to the Iraq War in 2003 and strongly opposes bombing Syria to combat Isis now. He also wants to scrap Trident, the UK's nuclear deterrent. He's on the fence regarding Europe; he's not happy with the current state of the EU, being particularly wary due to the treatment Greece has faced during its financial crisis, but he does want Britain to play a key role in the organisation. Soon after the contest was over Rachel Reeves, Chuka Umunna, Yvette Cooper, Emma Reynolds, Tristram Hunt, Chris Leslie and Liz Kendall all stated they would not serve under his leadership. Attention now turns to how he will go about uniting the Labour party. The percentage of the vote that Corbyn received. The minimum wage from a Corbyn-led government. The number of women in Corbyn's shadow cabinet. Jeremy Corbyn protesting against apartheid in 1984.
