No, rather that a moderate by conviction will not be at home in a more radical environment so, depending how 'moderate' they are, the LibDems beckon or the Tories or whatever. Anyone who believes that moderation is the best way to tackle such far-right legislation, as is coming before Parliament now, needs to rethink and do so quickly.

Corbyn gives the noisy minority something to do for the next 4 years (maybe) The amount of back peddling and compromises that will occur in the coming months is going to be hugely embarrassing to Labour. I will predict that they could be the third party come next election. Britain is moving to the right and Corbyn is a square peg in a round hole.

I will predict that they could be the third party come next election. Britain is moving to the right and Corbyn is a square peg in a round hole. I would argue that it is too early yet to say which and indeed if the country is making any signifigant moves in terms of politics but that the election of Corbyn alone indicates that there is an appetite within the country for a leftward shift. I don't see any danger of Labour becoming the third party as the Lib Dems have yet to recover from the disaster (for them) which was the coalition government. A lot depends on the rise of poverty and inequality within the UK and if Corbyn can harness the associated anger that will come with it. Far too early to tell if his message will spread beyond his core supporters but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
