its a very very small number of his opponents in his party namely the Blairite MP's. Those MP's aren't politicians they think that getting into power at whatever cost is the most important thing.
"very very small number"?
From 2015 to 2017 80 MPs have sat in Labour’s shadow cabinet. The number is no doubt higher now.
That's a shocking figure and points to problems not with the 80+, but Corbyn.
I don't think anyone is doubting he's not a "good" guy.
He's a good speaker, a good backbencher.
The problem is that he isn't leadership material, and never will be. His career has been on the sidelines, an "armchair expert" if you will. His ideas just don't pan out and wouldn't work in the real world - such as returning utilities to state ownership, giving free travel to under 25s and so on.
He's been fast tracked to leadership as an initial joke, and a wave of student support, nothing more. He's not the right man to lead the party. Chuka Umunna or Alan Johnson should have taken over from Miliband.
And because of this the Labour party is now split three ways:
Old Left Labour (Kinnoch era)
New Centre-Left Labour (Blair era)
Corbyn Left Labour (persent era)
And each supporter can't abide the others because they feel that they were the ones for holding the party back or causing it to lose its way.
I'm not ashamed to say I voted for Labour in the early Blair years. But the Iraq Wars and Brown turned me away from them. And as long as they have Corbyn as leader I won't support them, and I'm not alone. Just Google "why I won't vote Labour" and see countless others.
And I pity all the Labour MPs who realise this too - and if they dare to stick their heads above the parapet they're deselected in favour of a Momentum candidate.
