Its hard to say but I would say Corbyn has moved the Labour further to the left than NDP

Right now it's Labour, especially if you consider antisemitism and support for radical terrorism as left-wing positions.

Yes, because those things have never been part of the right.

As a left-leaner, I'm definitely not denying this Smiley But the far-left has embraced an anti-globalist, anti-"imperialist" position that targets Jews and their state, and sometimes supports radical terrorists that target and slaughter citizens as "freedom fighters". That much is clear.

Nobody is targeting the Jews, some are just targeting the Isreali state (which sometimes is excessive, yes.)

It might have been a valid question pre-2015, but definitely not since then.

Many within Labour are definitely targeting the Jews. The examples are too many to count by now.

Pete Willsman, for example? How about the entire party's refusal to accept the widely-accepted definition of antisemitism? Not to mention the Jewish Labour members targeted by the party's base. And of course, extreme attacks on Israel and its signaling-out are antisemitic dog-whistles.

There are times, when a party becomes too toxic and disgusting. Likud, for example, has become such a party, and thus I will never support it again until it's completely cleansed of its current slate. British Labour is another party, one that became even more toxic to me- an almost antisemitic party. As such, I'll never support them, not until they're cleansed of the antisemitism.

NDP is a left-wing party. UK Labour under Corbyn is a racist populist party designed for a post-Brexit world.

At the moment Labour without question. However there was a time when it was the opposite. The NDP never went as close to the centre as Labour did under Tony Blair, but definitely not as left wing as Corbyn. Brown and Miliband would be on the political spectrum where the NDP falls while Tony Blair would probably be a liberal in Canada and Corbyn would be more a fringe type in the NDP.

Pete Willsman was never elected though and when such comments were found out his support was withdrawn by momentum.
