Western democracy has a new champion and his name is Jeremy Corbyn. Following decades of complete political lunacy, war mongering and hawkish paranoia, reason has re-entered the fray, finally putting to shame those officials whose only narrative has been one of exclusion and latent xenophobia in defense of sociopathic imperial capitalism.
Arab Spring move over and let's make some room for one very British social democratic awakening! Let's face it; Britain needed a break from "business as usual", especially since "business" has essentially entailed the disappearing of the middle class to the tune of Orwellian policies. With corporations leading the political dance, the people never really stood a chance - increasingly elitist policies stand testimony to Britain's very undemocratic devolution into a capitalist police state.
But this was then, and this is today.
Jeremy Corbyn now sits as the head of Labour. Needless to say that his election has scared the living daylights out of the establishment. Can you imagine a man of the people elected to represent the people?! That is one incredible concept to wrap one's head around for the likes of Tony Blair and David Cameron.
When it comes to democracy, Britain's political class would have you believe that in between theory and practice lays an eternal "national security" threat, one which requires extraordinary autocratic measures. In other words, the UK and most of the well thinking Western world has lived under the assumption that in order to safeguard its much prized democratic freedom it had to abandon all rights and liberties.
This narrative has of course extended to foreign policy and how Western capitals have related to the rest of the world - mainly the Middle East and of course the new "enemy" of choice: the great Russian bear.
