Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's new left-wing party is poised to shake up British politics, with the potential to secure 10% of the vote. This bold move could force Labour to reconsider its rightward drift and embrace more progressive policies. Yet, history shows that new parties often face uphill battles in gaining a foothold in the UK.
