UK Labour Leader Corbyn Qualifies For Ballot

Britain's opposition Labour Party is allowing its current leader Jeremy Corbyn to be  automatically included in the leadership contest.

Some argued  that he needed support from at least 51 Members of Parliament and Members of the European Parliament to qualify for the ballot.
