Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Buckaroo]

 

[quimcunx]

61.8 is that up on last time?
ETA yes it is

And how many purged who would most likely have voted for him?

 

[Pickman's model]

I voted for Corbyn. I don't think he has covered himself in glory over the past few months and was virtually absent on the eu debate. This has possibly cost a lot of remain votes. His time is up. He should go. Give the party time to elect a leader and sort themselves out before the next election.

Haha

And how many purged who would most likely have voted for him?

Almost all of them, I would hazard a guess.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

hah, even with all the legal shenanigans, voter purging, smears, and reduced alternatives, they didn't even get the basic concession of a reduced majority. lol.

 

[danny la rouge]

Funny stuff!

These are the colossi of electoral success who walk among us.

No, and Corbyn secures maj in all categories of the selectorate.

Sorry I was asking how many were purged more than what % of those purged would have voted for him.

 

[neonwilderness]

A bigger majority this time. Go Jezza

 

[agricola]

Sorry I was asking how many were purged more than what % of those purged would have voted for him.

I think the Guardian reported around 150,000 who had joined within six months were denied the vote, which would represent 20% of the electorate as a whole (its not clear whether the 23% of the electorate that didn't vote include the purged).

So Jeremy Corbyn wins the second annual labour leadership election. Yet the question on everyone's lips is already who will stand against him next year?

 

[scifisam]

My flatmate who hates Corbyn is spinning this as a failure for Corbyn. Apparently this is less of a mandate than last year because he was only up against one person. Ffs.

 

[Nylock]

With all due respect to you, your flatmate's an idiot...

 

[butchersapron]

And how many purged who would most likely have voted for him?

Less than half a percent.

 

[agricola]

Norman Smith bravely trying to stem the tide of Smith supporters fleeing the auditorium, desperate not to miss the last chopper out.

 

[agricola]

Umunna decrying the fact that immigration wasn't a more prominent part of the contest.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Unelectable apparently. FFS!

 

[Cid]

There are probably some people looking at the figures and saying 'Hey, that bloke, y'know - whatsisname, got 22,000 more than not-Corbyn did in 2015 - surely that gives us grounds for hope next year?'.

 

[oryx]

Umunna being interviewed now - mentions 'online thuggery' within seconds...

 

[kenny g]

Graun.

So far BBC has only talked to anti-Corbyn people.....they're now getting to his supporters, not sure how many minutes that is in to the report.

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

Last year #corbyn beat 3 others, this year he's only beaten one. His ability to defeat rivals has plummeted by 67%. It's a disaster #Lab16

The coverage is a lot more balanced than it was before and after the previous leadership election declaration.

Less than half a percent.

Yes, minimal (though is that rejected votes or does it include the full list of expelled and rejected £25ers? Either way, doesn't matter, it isn't many in the context of the overall Labour electorate). Turns out the impact of the whole grassing, reporting and 'purging' saga was to discredit the Labour left and by extension the party itself, rather than have any impact on the result.

Edit: yes, still under 0.5%.

Yeh not his opponent's inability to muster more than one 'unity' candidate
