I provided the same evidence I provided about the labour voters and the referendum Mystery its the same people saying they won't vote for him, that said they were voting out.

*shrugs*

[Mr Mystery]

So.....32% of members then, yeah?

In other words, 68% back him, and he's bringing in new members all the time?

Such a terribad, unelectable leader. Look at him. Reaching out to people. The fool

Eagle is rightly facing a no confidence vote in her own constituency so this challenge wont last the week

I missed that!

[Psychosplodge]

Yes because they're probably members Mystery
They're the people you need at the election.
I mean ffs they're arguing about whether he'll even appear on the ballet, and the precedent is that kinnock solicited nominations.

[Mr Mystery]

Soliciting nominations, and needing them are two distinct and differing things, no?

And I still don't get why he'd need them? The whole issue here is that there's an attempted coup not by the Labour Party, but by MPs, who are choosing to ignore the incredible mandate handed to him by the party.

The PLP really need to wake up and remember they are not The Labour Party. Just it's representatives.

I suppose if he's still leader the next election we'll see?

But if May wins it and turns into the next thatcher I'm blaming the corbynites.

[Mr Mystery]

She already is The Next Thatcher. She's a horrific harridan.

[Psychosplodge]

Yes but there's less than a term left at the moment.

[Mr Mystery]

Never underestimate the damage potential of any Tory.

I'm interested/terrified to see her new Cabinet. Will Gideon still have the purse strings? How much of a kicking is Gove going to take? Will Cameron feature at all, or sail off into the sunset (I would!)

[Denzark]

A lot will depend on whether or not the 184 (or whatever) Labour MPs who voted showing they have no confidence in Corbyn, have the integrity to leave the current Labour set up and form their own centre left party. Which will ensure Corbyn leads the Labour party with a huge mandate, but sweet fanny adams in terms of MPs in his party.

Apparently a recent poll published in the DT shows labour instantly get 12 point jump in Corbyn is not the possible PM - 36% to 48% of those polled.

[Mr Mystery]

Ah, the Torygraph.

Guess they asked their employees
