How liberal activists may have have destroyed Britain’s Labor Party
Corbyn’s performance at prime minister’s questions was famously branded a “fucking disaster” by Labour MP John Woodcock.
Jeremy Corbyn is being reelected Party Leader of Britain’s Labour despite nearly unanimous opposition of the elected Members of Parliament from his won party. The story is eerily similar to the current state of the GOP and may be an important lesson for America’s Democrats and GOP (Trumpists).
Very much like the Trump and Bernie campaigns, Corbyn’s campaign has brought out huge crowds during 59 ralliess and membership in Labour is surging. In a symptom reminiscent of our own Bernie’s “Revolution,” Corbyn’s “Momentum” is publicly accusing party officials of “rigging” the leadership contest. Nonetheless in England, parties vote by party membership and it seems certain that Corbyn will win the popular vote from Labour’s 500,000 member.
UPDATE: CORBYN WINS:
HARD-LEFT KILLS OFF LABOUR
For Party regulars, Corbyn’s detractors, mass rallies and even a vote of the membership do not necessarily translate into success in a general election. Cameron never held huge rallies. and Tory party membership is only around 130,000. Yet like Clinton winning the Democratic nomination, Cameron won the general election victory in 2015.
In 2015, Corbyn said annual leadership contests could be a good idea. Now leader, he has changed his mind.
