Owen Smith didn't do badly with 193k+ votes. Consider that before Corbyn became leader, the membership of the Labour party was less than 200k. Labour is clearly split, the old membership voted for Smith.

Politics is a mess now. Hopefully, a new order will emerge from the chaos.

Jeemy for a bigger majority this time than last, and that was even after some members were banned from voting.

Labour as it is is now unelectable, that moves UKIP into potential opposition although their aims at the moment aren't too clear, it seems job done but monitoring Brexit through.

16 months of waste of time,the Labour Party is back to square one,with the MPs still not wanting Corbyn and disunited as ever.
The only power they have is with the SNP and Tory Remain voters competing with May and the Brexit Torys.
I still think May is trying to walk a line between the 17 million Brexit and the 16 million Remain and keep Brexit open until 2020 when she can have a new manifesto to appeal to as many as possible,including such a soft Brexit the change will be minimal.

Corbyn is a socialist, his party is the pseudo conservative one formed by Tony Blair, electable but incapable of politically adequate opposition. That makes a huge swathe of the electorate very unhappy.

The "Labour" MPs need to quickly become genuine Labour MPs and back Corbyn if they are not to let another party like the Lib-Dems or UKIP overtake them as the de facto opposition.

I'm afraid I have to take issue with your analysis Trex. Those in the Labour Party who are anti-Jeremy Corbyn are for the greatest part, the Blairite faction, aka pink tories, along with a secondary bunch of career politicians operating under a false flag.

The Labour Party proper, as represented by Corbyn, is the spiritual successor to the greatest government ever to have held office in modern times. That was the government captained by Clement Attlee and starring Aneurin Bevan as its midfield general.

The New Labour diversion was a political ploy to drag wavering tory supporters away from their party in the late 90s and the public fell for it. Its effect was to produce a government indistinguishable from that which preceded it and has since been referred to, fairly I think, as tory-lite. That would reflect the slightly gentler approach to the introduction of policies less than desirable to those wishing to see a return to public ownership of the major institutions of state and the essential utilities.

Corbyn has attracted huge numbers of young people to join Labour because he offers a different approach to politics, more respectful of human rights, and offers a greater recognition of proper equality to all minorities. He is not a warmonger and that is very appealing to an increasing number of citizens, given the state of the world in which we operate today.

It is now incumbent upon those 'anyone-but-Corbyn' conspirators to accept that grass-roots Labour voters have chosen the leader who best represents their aspirations for Britain's future and get behind the man. If they cannot do that, they should leave the party and stand as independents or join a party more in line with their own vision.

The conspirators put every possible obstacle in the way of a Corbyn victory, including spurious legal challenges, much enjoyed and hyped by the tory media, yet their chosen challenger came up a long way short in spite of all their conniving.

In my view, it is enormously important that Corbyn leads the Labour Party as his direction is the only hope of an alternative form of politics come the next election. Otherwise, Britain will in effect be no more than a one-party state as we know how close the yellow-belly Lib-Dems are to the tories and we have previous experience of a New Labour administration.

Without a reforming Labour government, this country may as well be managed by Marks & Spencer, John Lewis or any major corporate organisation as whatever they want, they seem to get from tory governments.

Maybe, but times always change. The public will get sick of a tory government in time and then the opposition will come to power.

A united Labour party under Corbyn would be that opposition party, but if they don't unite the resurgent Lib-Dems or UKIP will seize the opportunity.
