Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour leadership contest

• refset 11y ago
  This is a brilliant opportunity for true political evolution in the UK that is clearly already working and flourishing within the bounds of the established systems. I really hope the next "Director of Digital" for the party (http://www.labour.org.uk/pages/current-vacancies http://www.labour.org.uk/pages/current-vacancies) embraces open participation and open source so that we can all muck in :)

  Raises a bit of an interesting question on how representative democracy is supposed to work. All the Labour MPs kind of won their mandate on the old manifesto. If Corbyn U-Turns on that doesn't that mean the labour party members are having undemocratic control on parliament? Concerns about democracy aside I think this is pretty great politically. Also Tom Watson who won the deputy position has some good positions on technology.

    Certainly the present UK Conservative Government think it's great.
