Because to have any hope of removing Corbyn there has to be only one candidate, otherwise the vote will be split.
Which is presumably why some people then also want the party to split in the event of a Corbyn victory, as it would give
both partiesthe new partythe old partyeither party a better chance of winning against the Tories in the next election, whenever it comes?Sound logic.
Previously when I mentioned the polls people said YEAH BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW MANNNN CORBYN MIGHT BE AMAZING.
This isn't really the same point anyway - this one shows Labour behind even in London, which is truly disastrous and much worse than previous polls I'm afraid.
Smith's not my man, at least not yet, I know little about him. I don't think the fact people hadn't heard of him till recently is necessarily a problem though. I know that Corbyn definitely isn't.
Hold on, let me take a look at the list of candidates.
Ah. Er...
That's the problem though isn't it? Why are only two people standing? Why it it a binary choice? Why the lack of any other decent candidates?
