UK's Labour Party flirts with its most socialist leader in 30 years

SYRIZA, Podemos, and now Labour? The UK's main opposition party is on track to elect its most socialist leader in 30 years as support continues to surge for anti-austerity, pro-nationalisation candidate Jeremy Corbyn.
Mr Corbyn, 66, has the most indications of support from Labour's constituency groups, backing from the UK's two biggest trade unions, Unite and Unison, and topped a YouGov plc opinion poll last week on the four leadership candidates.
