Do you mean different in the way that The New Hope for Britain calling for "unilateral nuclear disarmament, withdrawal from the European Economic Community, abolition of the House of Lords, and the re-nationalisation of recently privatised industries like British Telecom, British Aerospace, and the British Shipbuilders Corporation" was different.
And we all know how well that went down in 1983. Corbyn is not original or different or acceptable to the electorate. Had Dennis Healey been elected leader instead of Foot he could have led a Labour government and avoided the Miner's Strike and all the damage that caused.
Yes, without the SDP splitting from the party, Labour would have won!
The same right wing that so treacherously gave us a decade of Thatcher are threatening to do the same again.
Trouble is, 40 years have elapsed and there is now no mood for a 'sensible' social democratic party among a huge section of the public who've become increasingly disillusioned with the moderate centre, as evidenced by the near annihilation of the Liberals and the failure of Labour to gain traction.
I'm afraid you like many other on the right seem to do your political thinking in some kind of bubble, devoid of any attachment to economic developments.
During this current parliament, our economy will take another dive after perhaps the weakest recovery in history. There comes a point were tolerance to the neoliberal agenda runs out.
