Corbynomics


This article summarises the policies, views and voting record of democratic socialist, Labour Party MP Jeremy Corbyn, who since 12 September 2015 has been the Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. A challenge to Corbyn's leadership led to the Labour Party (UK) leadership election, 2016, where Corbyn won against challenger Owen Smith with 61.8% of the vote.

Corbyn self-identifies as a democratic socialist. He advocates reversing austerity cuts to public services and welfare funding made since 2010, and proposes renationalisation of public utilities and the railways. A longstanding anti-war and anti-nuclear activist, he supports a foreign policy of military non-interventionism and unilateral nuclear disarmament.

In 1997, the political scientists David Butler and Dennis Kavanagh described Corbyn's political stance as "far-left". However, more recently it has been argued that Corbyn is less radical than previously described, described as "Keynesian" by George Eaton.
