Corbyn loses Vote

I think you're failing to recognise that the public elect the government, not the front benchers.

That is really unsettling ...

I know that but you cannot lead a party without support from the MP's, not effectively anyway. He has to know when it is time to leave, give up. I know that he does not have to leave even with this no confidence vote but he seems stubborn to be staying and I worry he is just making the situation much worse.

He HAS to step down, honestly I was a corbynite till this week, he's being stubborn, he has to realise he can't win an election. By staying, he is ensuring the conservatives gain more votes than ever and possibly is allowing UKIP to get votes in Labour heartlands.

Yet the funny part of this is that he'll probably stand again and get elected by the Labour members.

Absolute turmoil in the Labour party.

The members want him so the people want him and that is who he is representing and they are the ones who will vote for him!!!

Labour MPs have a far better claim of being representative of the "people". 9million people voted for Labour in 2015 against a Labour membership of around 500000. If you want to keep Corbyn, an arrogant, weak, idiotic leader in power, fine. Internal polling shows that Labour would get 75 seats if an election was held today - a result that would take decades to come back from.

The first positive outcome of Brexit.

The members want him so the people want him

What is fascinating, however, is that if Labour is to win, it may have to do it largely without much practical help from its new members and registered supporters. Confirming the complaints of many a Labour MP and ward secretary, the newbies might talk (and tweet) a good game, but they don’t necessarily turn up to do the hard yards.

Just over two-thirds of Labour’s post-GE2015 members and supporters (68%) have retweeted, posted or forwarded a message supporting the Labour party on social media and nearly nine out of ten (88%) claim to have signed a petition on behalf of the party. But only 15% of them have participated in door-to-door or telephone canvassing of voters or helped out at a party function, and only 28% of them claimed to have delivered leaflets. Indeed, some 63% said they had put in no time at all on behalf of the party during recent local, mayoral and devolved elections.

Finally, 61% of Labour’s new members say they have never attended a party meeting – which could mean that MPs worried about their obvious enthusiasm for deselecting those hostile to Jeremy may have less to fear than they might think.

Polling? Polling showed that we would Remain in the EU but what happened?

That is your baseless opinion.

I doubt we will be waiting till 2020, sooner the better in my view.
I just remembered that :
1) the Chilcott inquiry is coming up
2) the vote on Trident is coming up

No doubt these events will stir the labour membership from rejecting any Blairite and keeping Corbyn on. I think we are seeing the split of the Labour Party as we know it and I for one am loving it - I also love delusional Corbynites still trying to support him.

Oh right, now we have a poll denier.

The referendum polling was practically right, if you take into account the margin of error that comes with any poll. In any case, the prediction that it was going to be close was consistent.

If you honestly believe that a poll showing labour would have 75 seats doesn't indicate anything about Labour's prospects, you are truly deluded. Even if you look at polling done from the General Election, the Tories have consistently beaten Labour.

Were you a remainer?

Do you want another referendum??
And the poll was wrong stop talking rubbish.

Yes Labour has been losing because nobody likes them anymore but now Corbyn has come labour has new supporters

For a early election to be called, 66% of MPs have to vote in favour as the PM has lost the ability of being able to call an early election. See the Fixed Term Parliament Act.
