Labour in meltdown

[eek]

I certainly can't be arsed to investigate but didn't Miliband change the rules for electing a leader to make it more democratic, which is what resulted in £3 assiciate members being able to vote? Different mechanism since Kinnock's time.

Yep. Which is why Corbyn won and why he or another left wing nohoper will win the next time

UKIP are pretty much dead after this IMO. If you listen to what the working classes (traditional Labour) are saying, the UKIP vote is a conditional vote. I expect they won't really turn out for the next GE, sadly.

They'll be anything but dead if the Tories don't invoke this Clause 50 thing fairly promptly.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that Cameron (or his successor, if not a Brexiter) may try and weasel out of it if they possibly can.

That's once they are on the ballot - but nothing changed with respect to actually getting on the ballot. Still has to get enough MPs to support him.

Moot point, say he won - he can barely fill his cabinet, he's a lame duck now, it's only pride and desperation from McDonnell et al to keep him at the controls.

Corbyn is automatically on the ballot unless he decides he doesn't want to be. He doesn't need to be nominated by MPs

If you wanted to screw things up, you couldn't create a worse method of (not) getting rid of someone...

Major unions supporting Corbyn who has no intention of going.

The PLP is considering separating themselves from the rest of the Labour Party.

If there are any gamblers, Paddy Power are offering 1/3 on a Labour Party leadership election in 2016.

Did he compare Jo Cox's murder to the revolt today?

He is getting pelters for it on social media.

Quite . If we actually leave where then is Cameron going to get his next job?

Goldman Sachs? Or any number of city houses that want even more influence
