UK General Discussion: 2017 and onwards, Mayhem

[StateBoiler]

It's becoming a bit like Charlie Brown and the football with all this Labour split stuff. It didn't happen the first 834 times it was reported as being imminent, it won't happen the 835th. I maintain that if the people who need to do it had the guts to do it they would have done it a long, long time ago.

This aged well.

Given the hard left hounded them out you'd think Corbynites would be happier.

They're not taking any sort of principled stand by leaving. They're doing it for publiciity, because the public are idiots and love people who 'heroically fall on their sword'.

I suppose congratulations are in order to the Blairites. They've successfully undermined Labour's first left-wing leader in years by painting him as some sort of left-wing Hitler (despite the fact he was elected leader both times with over 50% of the vote).

Well, if you want a more pure Labour Party, shouldn't all the Blairites leave, and then get all the votes from more Blairite-minded voters when elections come around?

The anti-Semitism might be a (valid) excuse, but think Corbyn's euroscepticism is more to blame here for the actual break.

"The Remain Coalition" in the UK Parliament has 8 breakaway Labourites, 3 breakaway Tories, the Liberal Democrats, and the SNP.
