That Corbyn fella...

The most interesting thing in that whole article is in the comments
when someone quotes Mandela...

Nelson Mandela, who was instrumental in the downfall of Apartheid, spoke of the "multiplicity of courage." He said that when
people come together for a cause they feed off each other's
commitment. The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts and
amazing things are possible. Once a tipping point is reached
conventional wisdom can change at breathtaking speed.'

I went to see Corbyn last weekend. The griminess of much of the
committed Left is as as described. But Corbyn himself is the catalyst
referred to. The Left, maybe all politics, is broken. I'm for Jeremy.

That's all well and good for Nelson Mandela to say looking back, but he had the majority of his country and the international community behind him. He was an icon and stood for something that really is one of the most basic tenets of a democracy - equality for people of all races. It's a far more cut and dried issue to unite behind.

I'd love for Corbyn to be the catalyst for something approaching an opposition, but I just doubt he will be. Don't think the guy writing the article is too negative, he's just realistic.
