I would argue that Corbyn is outside the parameters of what we would have previously considered normal. The idea someone who was aligned with the Socialist Workers Party, wrote for magazines with soviet sympathies and associated with IRA members during 'the troubles' would lead one of the major parties - let alone almost win an election - would have been unthinkable 10 years ago.
