Retrieved on 22 September 2015.〕 is a British politician who is the Leader of the Labour Party and the Leader of the Opposition. He has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Islington North since the general election of 1983.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/jeremy-corbyn/185 )〕 His political career began when he was elected to Haringey Council in 1974, later also serving as Secretary of the Islington Constituency Labour Party (CLP); he continued in these roles until he entered the House of Commons as an MP. A self-described democratic socialist, Corbyn is strongly critical of social inequality and poverty in the UK, and has been awarded for his work as an international human rights campaigner. He advocates the renationalisation of public utilities and the railways, abolishing university tuition fees, a unilateral policy of nuclear disarmament, "People's Quantitative Easing" to fund infrastructure and renewable energy projects, and reversing cuts to public sector and welfare funding made since 2010. He proposes combatting tax evasion and avoidance by corporations and wealthy individuals, and reducing business subsidies, as an alternative to the government's austerity programme. Corbyn is a member of the Socialist Campaign Group, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Amnesty International and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). He was the chair of the Stop the War Coalition until September 2015. Corbyn announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Labour Party on 6 June 2015. Although he was initially regarded as a fringe hopeful in the leadership election—having only just secured sufficient nominations from fellow Labour MPs to be placed on the ballot—Corbyn quickly emerged as the lead candidate in opinion polls and secured the support of the majority of trade unions affiliated to the Labour Party, as well as three non-affiliated unions. He was elected Leader of the Labour Party on 12 September 2015, with a landslide vote of 59.5% in the first round of the ballot. ==Early life and career== Corbyn was born in Chippenham and was brought up at nearby Kington St Michael, Wiltshire. The youngest of four sons, he is the brother of weather forecaster Piers Corbyn, and the son of Naomi (née Josling; 1915–1987), a maths teacher, and David Benjamin Corbyn (1915–1986), an electrical engineer and expert in power rectifiers. His parents were peace campaigners who met during the Spanish Civil War. When Corbyn was seven years old the family moved to Pave Lane in Shropshire, where his father bought "Yew Tree Manor" (renamed "Yew Tree Guesthouse"),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Connecting People Through News )〕 converting it into a family home.〔 Corbyn was educated at Castle House Preparatory School, an independent school near Newport, Shropshire, before attending Adams' Grammar School as a day student.〔 Part of Special Report on Corbyn and Labour leadership campaign.〕 While still at school he became active in The Wrekin Constituency Young Socialists and his local Labour Party, as well as in the League Against Cruel Sports.〔 He achieved two A-Levels with "E" grades before leaving school aged 18.
