I couldn’t vote for them. I have only voted once in my life. This is partly because I have lived outside of the UK for some of my life, and for various reasons, for periods of time, have not been on the electoral register. For the first time in my life, watching Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership campaign, and his actions since as leader, I have decided to join the Labour Party. I have felt hopeful, because of the kind of politics Corbyn has been trying to introduce. And ‘kind’ is the word.
