Jeremy Corbyn to stand as independent to end "horrible, corrupt, arid years"

Long-standing British MP (Member of Parliament) and former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn makes his announcement to stand as an independent candidate in the upcoming General Election (July 4th, 2024). Last year he was banned from representing Labour (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65102128) on the grounds of alleged anti-semitism in the party of which he's been a key figure for 40 years. However, his 'for the many, not the few' slogan still stands strong, as does his track record of anti-war, pro-community campaigning. What do you think of this manifesto piece, in which he reiterates his commitment to demoncracy and to the people of London's Islington North area, which he has represented for decades? Corbyn's calm demeanour has been mocked in the past by critics as making him 'unelectable', but supporters are not the only ones in the mood for a general change, and the UK is not the only country where a long-suffering population is expressing anger and disgust over a system where two main political parties deliver strident public performances yet manifest remarkably similar policies and approaches. Does a simple public expression of dedication to democracy ring more true these days than ever before? Are people seeking trustworthiness more then ever? And if so, where can it be found?
