Pro-Palestinian, Anti-War Activist Elected UK Labor Party Leader

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght- A veteran pro-Palestinian, anti-war and anti-austerity activists has been elected to lead Britain's Labor party riding in an astonishing and a first-round victory that dwarfed even the mandate for Tony Blair in 1994.
Corbyn won with nearly 59.5% of first-preference votes, beating rivals Andy Burnham, who trailed on 19%, and Yvette Cooper who received 17%.
Speaking after the vote in London on Saturday, Corbyn called for a 'better society' in the UK, and vowed to help bring a better future for Britons.
The north London MP is one of the most unexpected winners of the party leadership in its history, after persuading Labour members and supporters that the party needed to draw a line under the New Labour era of Blair and Gordon Brown. Corbyn is now working on to put together a shadow cabinet and frontbench team. He has said he wants to make it “as inclusive as possible.”
He said the message from his Saturday election is that people are “fed up with the injustice and the inequality” of Britain.
The campaign showed"our party and our movement passionate, democratic, diverse, united and absolutely determined in our quest for a decent and better society that is possible for all" he said in his speech at a party conference in the British capital.
The newly-elected leader condemned "grotesque levels of inequality" and "an unfair welfare system" in his country.
He also said that refugees trying to flee to the UK are “victims of war, victims of environmental degradation, victims of poverty and victims of human rights abuses”. And he went on: "Surely, surely, surely, our objective ought to be to find peaceful solutions to the problems of this world, to spend our resources on helping people, not hindering people and to try and bring about that world of decency, humans rights and justice."
The new leader replaces Ed Miliband who resigned a day after his party suffered defeat in general elections some three months ago.
Since 1983, he has been Member of Parliament for the London constituency of Islington North. He is also a member of the Socialist Campaign Group, the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, Amnesty International, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Stop the War Coalition. He is a member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, regularly campaigning against Israel’s wars on Gaza and ‘the Israeli Apartheid.’
Corbyn has previously called for the participation of Hamas and Hezbollah for a settlement of the West Asia conflict and highlighted the role of Iran in the regional issues.
He has also called for lifting anti-Iran sanctions and begining of a political process to decommission Israel's nuclear weapons.
