It's still an excellent compendium of verifiable data. I'm left leaning, but like the Labour front bench, the Labour voters, and the Guardian I have to stand against hard left extremism rather than support it. in which case, the LibDems and Greens are excellent choices.


What makes you think Corbyn is an "extremist"? If you think the Labour party, with its strong social democratic is extreme, what must you think of the Communist Party? Perhaps I'm in a minority, but I don't think Corbyn is left enough.


For those who don't live in the UK, Corbyn (and Momentum, the hard left group which has recently taken over the Labour party in the UK) is well known to support various groups who commit political violence against non-military targets.


The same is true of the Conservative party of course, if we count e.g. support of the government of Bahrain: http://www.dpglaw.co.uk/torture-victim-seeks-review-uk-train...


Yep, not just Bahrain but the Saudis as well. I won't vote for the Conservatives for other reasons but UK governments both left and right have always sidled up to awful regimes in the name of diplomacy. We don't need to add extremist groups to the list.

How about we reject both the dictators and the terrorists?
