I don't believe what the PLP is doing here. I may not rate Corbyn but to start this ludicrous infighting at such a pivotal time in British History is insane. If we had a credible alternative as leader I'd go with him/her in a heartbeat as I think Corbyn is out of touch with the modern world but there isn't one and he at least has the courage of his convictions. I respect Corbyn even though I disagree with him on many issues but I can't really say the same of any of the others. I firmly believe Labour needs to position itself on the centre-left rather than going out and out socialist as it was in the 60's and 70's but there isn't a genuine centrist out there right now, just a bunch of platitude spouting self-serving idiots who will say anything that they think will bag a few more votes.
I've got to be honest and say I feel scared for the future of the party itself and can see a split similar to the 'Gang of Four' that led to the SDP and fourteen more years in opposition. The PLP needs to stop thinking about replacing the leader and start concentrating on policy, most especially how to start undoing the catastrophic damage done by the Tories over the last six and a bit years. If we are to have any hope of winning in 2020 we need to be working on a viable platform now.
