Britain’s opposition Labour party has elected a new leader, radical leftwinger Jeremy Corbyn.<br /><br /> His margin of victory was huge, scooping over a quarter of a million votes from party members, affiliates, and supporters to take nearly 60% of the vote.<br /><br /> Closest challenger Andy Burnham could only muster 80,00 votes.<br /><br /> Corbyn is a vegetarian, but in terms of British policies, his policies are strong meat.<br /><br /> “It showed our party and our movement is passionate, democratic, diverse, united and absolutely determined in our quest for a decent and better society, that is possible for all,” he said in his victory speech.<br /><br /> Corbyn’s first task may be to try and persuade his leadership rivals to serve under him, and neutralise a possible refusal to serve as shadow ministers by several party heavyweights.
