Corbyn pledges not to impose own views on Labour

The new leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party will promise in a speech today (29 September) to make decisions by nationwide consultation - an approach critics say could cause confusion, and deepen internal divisions.

Veteran parliamentarian Jeremy Corbyn was elected earlier this month on a pledge to involve general membership more closely in policy and eschew the central policy discipline of recent decades. He won over nearly 60% of members and supporters, but fewer of Labour's more than 230 lawmakers.
