As mentioned elsewhere in this excellent thread, the window has shifted way to the right since the late 70s. But it can be pulled back - the strength of support for Corbyn during these last few weeks has been truly heartwarming.
I'd love the think that there's a genuine grassroots reaction that can be captured and can have real influence in shaping the fightback against the politics of austerity and failing capitalism. The SNP have proven that a possibility can become a reality, if you have a strong enough message to inspire enough people.
