: Was so excited last night about new contender in leadership contest I couldn't sleep - like a 5 yr old morning on Xmas eve @jeremycorbyn— Naomi Fearon June 4, 2015 I am standing to give Labour Party members a voice in this debate, according to Russia Today. Corbyn, who increased his majority as MP for Islington North by 5.8 percent in May general election, is a veteran campaigner and a central figure in the dwindling left of the Labour Party. The 66-year-old MP told the Islington Tribune on Wednesday night he was standing in response to an overwhelming call by Labour Party members who want to see a broader range of candidates and a thorough debate about the future of the party. Speaking to the Mirror newspaper, Corbyn said he would offer a different economic strategy, particularly opposing austerity. Corbyn is also a long-time supporter of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Stop the War Coalition. His views on foreign policy are perhaps best expressed by his activism, which includes support for the Palestinian cause and vocal opposition to the former Apartheid regime in South Africa before its fall in 1994.
