7. Thank you. Clearly the goal of the anti-Corbynites is NOT to get Labour into power.

These are the ideological children of those who split away from Labour in the Eighties(knowing that there was never a chance of the "SDP" doing anything but guaranteeing repeated Tory landslides)because they would rather see endless right-wing dominance than allow Labour to come to power on any manifesto even a millimeter to the left of James Callaghan.

Today, despite their cynical implications that THEY care about the dispossessed more than the Left does, the anti-Corbynites are just as willing to sabotage their own party, the ONLY party in which they could ever have had political careers, rather than accept a leade that doesn't defer to their essentially conservative sense of entitlement.
