British Labour Party members and paid participants in the party’s private leadership election (something akin to a U.S. primary) have chosen Jeremy Corbyn, the member of Parliament for Islington North, as their new leader.

Corbyn, an open admirer of Karl Marx and a columnist for a newspaper that was originally an organ of the Communist Party of Great Britain, replaces Ed Miliband, who resigned in May after the party’s catastrophic performance in this year’s general election.
