Why I believe in Jeremy Corbyn

Why I believe in Jeremy Corbyn

I left the Labour Party in 2003 as a result of the illegal invasion & occupation of Iraq.

I never regretted my decision especially when you look at the lack of achievements of that Government and the startling fact that the financial gap between rich & poor actually increased during New Labour's period in office.

I believe my decision was further justified in the last election with Labour pandering to the racist lobby with their infamous immigration controls pledge whilst also bowing down to the altar stone of austerity.

However, my criticisms of the Labour Party in government and their current austerity policies are shared by Jeremy Corbyn who has stood alone amongst the leadership contenders voting against the latest Tory budget cuts.

Jeremy has campaigned consistently throughout his political life for socialist policies, domestically and internationally; was a principled rebel throughout the last Labour government and has been an active supporter of the majority of radical, left & green campaigns over the past few decades.

He is a prominent anti-austerity campaigner and the only anti-austerity candidate in the leadership contest.

I understand the criticism of those who believe that the Labour Party has betrayed the working class and is part of the problem not the solution, but, it is more important to support a prominent socialist selling 'our' message nationwide than retreating behind the barricades of purity. I feel that it would be churlish in the extreme not to support a man whose views are barely a cigarette paper away from my own.

Whilst the manifesto of Jeremy Corbyn has the opportunity of becoming the manifesto of the Labour Party I can quite happily state I support the aims and objectives of the Labour Party and will register as a Labour supporter.

There is a momentum that has been gathering pace and Jeremy is in with a genuine chance of winning so I would urge you to register or affiliate as Labour supporters before noon on 12th August which can be done by:

• affiliating through your Trade Union if it is affiliated to the Labour Party (in Unison you must first ask your branch to register you into the Affiliated Political Fund - no cost) 
• Registering as an Individual Supporter for just £3.  

Therefore for less than the price of a pint you will be able to vote for the Labour Party to be led by a socialist!
