That 9 million was divided between, what 620-630 constituencies, (sorry don't know how many MPs are elected in Northern Ireland), so simple Maths suggests each individual MP received many fewer votes than Corbyn in either Leadership election.
Few MPs, these days, ever get 50,000 votes,
but I'm guessing in the '20s/'30s some Labour MPs in coal/steel/shipbuilding constituencies may have got 60-70,000 votes.

William.
Current Labour Mps were voted in by over 9 million people. Jeremy Corbyn was voted in as leader by 300,000. What happened in the last month that changed this?
