A spring 2018 series, taking stock of the Corbyn project by addressing the following questions:
- Are the left making significant advances both in and through the Labour Party?
- What consequences is Corbynism already delivering?
- What are the prospects for winning with a radical programme for the next election and what progress is being made on building the capacities at multiple points to carry out such a programme in government?
- Are pressures for consolidation and conformism coming from both the establishment within the Labour Party and the lack of extra-parliamentary counter-power limiting Corbynism’s potential?
- What tactics, strategies and struggles could overcome the pressures of conformism?
Once the series is published, we will invite responses.
