ANALYSIS: Why is Jeremy Corbyn so unpopular?
Jeremy Corbyn is railing against"cuts, closures and poverty". He's campaigning to build more homes, and to fight fewer wars. He's condemning the Tories for creating a"divided and unequal society".
And yet, in 2015, as he was fighting to take over the leadership of the party, he was pledging the same:"Capitalism is in its death throes!" It's not mere sloganeering. His policy agenda over the past year has been: renationalise British utilities and trains, cap all wages, and force large companies to transfer 10 per cent of their equity to their employees.
And in the torrid political climate that followed, many would have expected Labour to romp home this time around. Over the past three years, the Conservative Party has imploded, with grave wounds struck to much of its credibility.
