Quote:Britain's Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn says he won't resign despite a vote of no confidence from his party's lawmakers.
Our news speak of 172 to 40 MPs having voted against him. Can't get anymore clearer, I daresay.
You've got to remember the core of Labour MPs have been divorced from their members sice Blair removed clause 4, killed the ability for policy to be decided by the membership, and turned candidate selection into a matter for HQ.
Getting rid of Corbyn right now, with the Tories in disarray and Labour membership riding high is a suicide note (but then again Labour's right hate labour rights or anything vaguely leftish more than they hate not being in power, hence the SDP of the 82 election).
