Corbyn refuses to resign, says no confidence vote has 'no constitutional legitimacy'

[Gass3268]

Again I'll ask, as I did in another thread: What, at this point, does Corbyn hope to accomplish by staying on? I understand that he believes himself to have his own mandate from the membership that he considers more important than the good graces of the PLP, but what does he hope to accomplish now? Does he care about the good graces of the people who elected the PLP, of whom there are thirty-seven times more than voted for him for leader? Does he expect the former Shadow Cabinet to come crawling back if/when he wins another leadership election? Does he think Labour can actually win a general election with a parliamentary party that despises its leader and a latter-day 'Who? Who?' ministry filled with nobodies, a ministry that he can't even fill because he has so few remaining allies?

Well the optimist says that he's wanting to resign- I've heard rumors that he wants to quit, and that some of his allies agree but Seamus Milne (the much hated spin doctor) is convincing him to stay.

Most likely Clive Lewis or JM are trying to get the 37 signatures needed to get on the ballot.

Wait, signatures for Corbyn or for themselves? Isn't Corbyn's position that he doesn't need signatures?

Depends who you ask.
