He argued for some national control of some infrastructure, going nowhere as far as the most successful social democratic parties in Europe, and even not as far as some conservative parties. E.g in Norway, the conservatives, about 4 parties to the right of the Norwegian Labour Party, not that many years ago argued a blocking minority stake of over 1/3 of the largest bank was a strategic goal for the state. I that light, the Corbyn labour manifestos were only mildly left wing. State ownership of some key infrastructure is popular even by a majority conservative voters.
