The former leader of the United Kingdom Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, has stated that he plans to contest the upcoming general election as an independent candidate after he was expelled from the UK Labour Party earlier this year. Thus, Corbyn’s actions can be considered as a new variable in the electoral process capable of influencing its outcome and the choice of the election’s outcome.
The former Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, was expelled from the party, especially after he had taken an improper stand on anti-Semitism, which ignited controversy and enticed a probe by the party’s executive. Corbyn is a popular figure among various Labour Party supporters and is expected to gain plenty of support from floating electorate Labour supporters.
When launching an unsuccessful attempt to become the leader of a separate party, Corbyn chose the wrong moment, as the Labour Party faced numerous problems and the country’s economy was weak, which provided the Conservatives with a strong position in the latest polls. It is accurate because there are fears that Corbyn’s choice for an independent candidacy is a disadvantage to the Labour Party and makes the situation even better for the Conservative Party.
Regardless of the result of this election, there will be significant changes not only in the Labour Party but in the government of the United Kingdom as a whole. It may also lead to the party reformulating its stands on some of the significant issues, including anti-Semitism and the economy.
