Irish politics could do with decent candidate like Jeremy Corbyn

THE re-election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the British Labour Party is profound. Corbyn has captured the public imagination. He has renewed hope among Labour voters. The desire for fairer politics underlies his success.
Corbyn increased his margin of victory to 62%, from 59% this time last year. This is despite the pro-Blairite National Executive Committee purging 200,000 voters expected to have backed Corbyn.
