Pining for the heady days of electoral success in the 90s is not a plan. It is nostalgia. The world is different now and the Blairites can't seem to grasp that. The political spectrum is so much more fragmented. Moving slightly to the centre to try to pick up votes from the right is not a legitimate way of getting elected.

I agree, I'm not saying we need a new Blair. But writing it off entirely and starting from scratch is not a plan either for such a large, established party. Would you force de-selection for all MPs you consider Blairite, and replace with those in favour of Corbyn?

I'm not writing anything off. I'm attacking people who are manufacturing a narrative in which Corbyn lost the referendum while ignoring facts.

This is a faction within Labour seeing their moment to do what they have wanted to do since the leadership election.

Why not? Lets see what a united party could do.
