Labour are suffering badly under Corbs.
Momentum (the group that support Corbs and are made up almost exclusively London Yuppie types) constantly say that membership is up under Corbyn, and that that somehow translates to them winning an election (they lost everything bar one seat in Scotland, they broke even in the council elections and the Tories lost nothing, despite being in power, which goes against every trend in the last half century, they've won a few labour heartland by elections and they won an mayoral election in which Khan distanced himself from Corbyn at every step, which turned out to be a blessing).
It doesn't. I know almost as many people who left labour (centrist, social democrat people) than joined when Corbs was elected.
I have to keep telling people who support Corbs on my newsfeed that there has never, and will never, be an appetite for a far left or far right candidate in the UK. Our politics doesn't work like that, and Corbyn, aside from being an incompetent fool and doing his upmost to sabotage not just national policy making but even internal labour party policy (EU membership, Working tax credits [didnt vote on a cornerstone of labour policy, told Owen Smith he didn't know anything about it!!], Trident), is a hangover from the Trot's failed attempts to militarise the Labour Party in the 70s and 80s
If he wins the election (and he will), the core labour vote will have to decide if they want to split off and form a new SDP and maybe join with the old SDP (Lib Dems). I would support that both with my membership and my vote.
