    Labour in meltdown

    Corbyn sacks Benn. Others quit.

    This is what happens when you let the minority prevail.

    Nope. This is what happens when you don't listen to what the real world is like for most people....

      Sorry, I should have clarified.

      I agree with what you mean but Corbyn was voted leader off the back of a very vocal minority.

      Having said that, if he had voted to Leave as most of his voters wanted, then he might still be good.

      This is going to be a great example of MPs thinking they know better than the people they represent.

        Corbyn was elected as he was more presentable than the other candidates. As I said in the other thread, when the next Labour leadership election starts (and it will be kicked off this week) Corbyn will win again....

          He's not the first opposition party leader to be told by MPs to stand down. It happened with the Tories.

            Yep and IDS did walk away. I really, really don't expect Corbyn to do so....

                Yep.

                In the case of the Tories you need the parliamentary party on your side and the membership, which stops the mess Labour are in.
