Why don't the anti-Corbynites just say THIS: [View all]

[Ken Burch]

"We accept that the election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader means that the vast majority of the Labour Party want a clearly different approach to politics than we do. We accept that it is legitimate that they want that, and that the sense of alienation they feel from the way we ran the party is fully justified"

"If we put a new leader in, we pledge that the Corbyn policies will stay in place, the process or renewing the party as a grassroots organization will continue and that the project of restoring internal party democracy will go on"?

If they did that, it would allay a lot of the suspicions that this isn't so much about Corbyn personally as about simply refusing to accept that the people of the Labour party had the right to vote the way they did in the leadership election.

It's simply unacceptable for the "rebels" to take the attitude that "we are the grown-ups and that we are entitled to simply stop anything happening in this party that we don't want to see happen".
