GREEN leader Natalie Bennett has attempted to capitalise on Jeremy Corbyn’s success, saying it is part of a “shift to a new political era.”
The Greens and other left alternatives to Labour stand to be the biggest losers if Mr Corbyn is elected Labour leader next month and can reconnect the party with its traditional supporters.
But Ms Bennett dismissed any threat to the Greens from a more left-wing Labour Party in a speech on Wednesday.
She said: “The country is ready for a real political landslide, massive political change. Just as the rise of Thatcher marked the end of a political era, the combination of the ‘Green surge,’ the rise of the SNP and the support for Corbyn mark the start of a shift to a new political era.”
Ms Bennett added: “The ‘surprise’ success of Jeremy Corbyn has been much less of a surprise outside the Westminster bubble.”
