The dastardly broadband communists have struck again!
Greed.
The answer is always Greed.
What profit is my government(Greek) going to have by doing this? Nothing, so obviously it's not gonna be done.
If everything is because of profit, then nothing works.
We had a guy who tried to do this in the UK. Everyone voted for boris though cuz brexit
I think focusing on Brexit discounts the fact that there was a concerted media campaign to demonise Corbyn. It was so intense I have never seen anything like that in western media. Even the coverage of Bernie Sanders does not come close in the sheer amount of brazen lies and slander being thrown his way. I feel even if he had the optimal take on Brexit which I agree he didn't he would have still lost.
Edit: I recall the press saying he was anti-semetic for pronouncing Epstein as "epshtein". It was nuts.

Seriously? Also, it's a very popular yiddish surname, shouldn't it be pronounced exactly that?
If Corbyn one UK could've been in a much better place today.
in a lot of ways yes
