What Britain can teach Democrats about the ultra-left
How to stop extremists from making a party unelectable
Neil Kinnock is most remembered in America for Joe Biden's plagiarism of his famous line about being the first of his family "in a thousand generations" to attend college. Biden borrowed the line, but later used it without giving credit during a televised speech. This incident contributed to Biden's loss in his first presidential run.
Kinnock, now known as Lord Kinnock, is also credited with helping the Labour Party regain electability by removing hard-left extremists who had infiltrated it. This story serves as a cautionary tale for the Democratic Party, which is currently struggling with the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a populist-left group.
