If Corbyn is dumped, why should anyone who cares about workers and the poor bother voting Labour? [View all]

[Ken Burch]

The PLP is doing this because it doesn't want Labour to care about anything but "winning the election".

It's clear that the PLP will ONLY accept Angela Eagle or Tom Watson as a replacement, and both of them agree with the Tories on every major issue.

If Labour won with that sort of leader, it would be impossible for it to be different in power than the Tories are.

Neither is capable of trying to make life better for the poor (nothing can be done for the poor at all if Labour endorses the benefits cap).

Neither cares about people who work for a living(you can't care about workers and support Thatcher's anti-worker laws).

Neither will let it be possible to be an activist for change and stay in the party.

It simply couldn't be worth anything to elect a Labour government if Labour's leader is a right-winger.

Doing so means agreeing that Labour should have no passionate convictions on anything.

And it means losing the vote of every young person in the UK forever.

The fight to dump Corbyn is led by those who want Labour to finish Blair's project and leave Britain with two conservative parties.
