        Not new. Corbyn supporters have always been dedicated. Doesn't represent national feeling. See Bernie Sanders in the US.

        Same as Sanders. Exactly the same. Polls still have a massive Tory lead. Shame, but there it is. Council elections show that.

        For those countries there are other reasons at play. Eg EU underwrites their government and institutions to be more stable.
