Jeremy Corbyn has announced his plans to encourage “decision making for the millions not millionaires”.
The unpopular labour leader told a huge rally in Kilburn, North West London, that he wanted to preserve the principle of democracy by breaking the “magic circle of decision making which meant that the views of ordinary people were ignored.
This was the final rally before the Ballot papers for the Labour leadership contest between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith are to be issued to close to a million people.
The long awaited contest arose due to uproar about Corbyn’s alleged apathy during June’s EU referendum in which the government lost its bid to remain in the EU.
A number of labour mp’s were livid about the Brexit outcome, pointing the finger of blame to its elected leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
Corbyn’s offense was failing to support the EU campaign passionately, with people furious over it. He may argue that he was thinking of the millions in not supporting the EU.
Corbyn’s party has been embroilled in dispute after dispute, strongly divided over his leadership with petitions signed and vocal opposition to his leadership declared.
In the meantime, the struggling leader has presented electoral sound bites ahead of the elections, stating his desire to bolster the bargaining powers of trade unions if he wins.
Announcing reform plans, Mr. Corbyn said he wanted to “democratise our country from the ground up”.
Corbyn talked of introducing new and collective rights for employees to give them “a real say against board rooms that control them.
Apart from his misguided known view of finding the existence of a national army undesirable, Corbyn does many times talk alot of sense. He is an.original operator with some positive creative ideas.
PROBLEM
The problem he has is that his popularity in the party has seriously deteriorated, and backing for the former shadow work and pension secretary, Owen Smith, is growing.
There was plenty of objection to his original election, which warning bells sounding from all corners. He still won, and started Oit looking good in his first parliamentary role as opposition leader.
He gave ordinary members of the public a voice by presenting their queries to the then prime minister, David Cameron.
He looked like a surprising potential, but it all came crashing down after the eu referendum. They wanted him out but he was defiant.u
The Mayor of London, Sadik Khan, has also added his weight to the opposing voices of Corbyn, leaving his chances of being re-elected in serious jeopardy.
