Description: The Candidate by Alex Nunns Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A sharply observant, on-the-ground account of the rise of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose uncompromisingly anti-establishment stance has reinvigorated British politics. In the wake of the UKs June 2017 election, The Candidate is a crucial British analogue to the phenomenon of Bernie Sanders Publisher Description Nominated for the 2017 Bread & Roses Award for Radical PublishingIn June 2017 an earthquake shook the very foundations of British politics. With Labour widely predicted to suffer a crushing defeat in the general election, Jeremy Corbyn instead achieved a stunning upset-a hung parliament, the humiliation of Theresa Mays government, and more than 40 percent of the vote.A lifelong and uncompromising socialist, Corbyn had, against all expectations, been dramatically elected leader of the party in September 2015. In the space of less than two years he had progressed from 200-1 outsider for the Labour Party leadership to become an apparent Prime Minister-in-waiting.How these events came about is the subject of Alex Nunns highly-readable and richly researched account. Drawing on first-hand interviews with those involved in the leadership and general election campaigns, including Labours most senior figures, Nunns traces the origins of Corbyns ascent. Giving full justice to the dramatic swings and nail-biting tensions of an extraordinary moment in UK politics, Nunns telling of a story that has received widespread attention but little understanding is as illuminating as it is entertaining. Selected by The Guardian as one of the best politics books of 2016, this updated edition includes a new introduction, and an extensive afterword that bring an extraordinary story right up to date.
