Taking Stock

A series, largely written by our editors, on how far the Corbyn project is fulfilling its potential.

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.
