Is it really Corbyn offering a "one party state"?

Maybe he is unelectable, maybe he isn't, but there is more to long term political change than simply who wins the next election.

I find Jeremy Corbyn's politics sometimes puerile and stupid - on serious issues - though often sound. But clearly there is no one else to vote for. This was confirmed by Yvette Cooper's first attempt at actually saying something, like a drone switched from human-lite to human-active mode. This was mid-August. What she came out with clearly delighted the Telegraph's resident Blairite, Dan Hodges, but for many people will have only confirmed two things: Corbyn is the only person worth voting for, and the New Labour project really does need to die.

Had you been in a coma for the last 8 years you would possibly not find anything unusual in her comment, so bereft it is of any recognition, whatsoever, of the actual state of the country and its ruling ideology.
