In reply to the discussion: Thread for anyone to explain why Labour would do better under Owen Smith's leadership. [View all]T_i_B
(14,737 posts)Firstly, the claim that Corbyn was open to dialogue from MP's has been clearly disproved. If it were true then the shadow cabinet would not have walked.
The claim that the personal vendettas are the fault of anyone but Corbyn is a blatant lie. He came into a very bad situation, but he has made the problem even worse at every turn.
Secondly, the idea that Labour can cure it's many ills by kicking out the people that some gobshite from Alaska deems "ideologically impure" is rubbish that only demonstrates even further why the Labour party is a joke. The people you consider vermin are the ones who know how to run things. You don't have a clue about what's happening on the ground. Labour party activists do, and in my experience the Corbynites tend not to be the ones who keep the show on the road and get out campaigning outside of internal shenanigans.
Your solution of a Stalin style purge will only show normal people that the Labour party is more concerned with finding traitor than winning converts. Owen Smith represents a break from this monumentally retarded path.
Also, do you even get involved with Alaskan Democrats or are they too "ideologically impure" for you?
