But a lot of the sneers against Jeremy has been that he's trying to take the Labour Party back to its old ways, aken. And though they say "back to the Seventies" the policies Jeremy is centrally identified with are in some ways much more "back to the Forties", and all the better for that. Public ownership, public organisation, recognising the imprtance of the Unions. And of course that involved a different kind of Austerity, which we are going to need. In terms of the politics of the 45 government, it would be absurd to paint Corbyn as a wild extremist.
