Overwhelming democratic mandate constitutes throwing an election. Interesting viewpoint.
There's a big difference between the two strategies in that one side had a massive democratic mandate to do what it was doing and the other were acting like a bunch of spoilt brats, independently and in secret. Not what I'd label 'good faith'.
If a decision made in good faith that turns out to (maybe) negatively impact GE performance meets the definition of "throwing an election" then the election of Corbyn as leader also constitutes throwing the election!
