That includes all supporters. William of Walworth gave the figures at the bottom of last page/top of this one. Well over 50% of members voted in both contests.
Who will be the next Labour leader?

Would be interests in a venn diagram of labour members who voted starmer and labour voters who have at various points thought the libdems are alright really, might lend them my vote.
Anyway. The positives are that it's done and now we can unequivocally go back to writing labour off as a bag of shit full of university challenge wankers

Without looking, didn't Corbyn push the individual membership up from about 200k to around 6-700k and then back to the 550k now? If the reality is anything like that, that probably means Starmer may well have got a majority among those who joined after Corbyn became leader.

Keeley has gone full Starmer-struck. Not really sure why - always saw her as a traditional old labour type.

But weren’t a lot of them part of that strange breed - the EuroCorbs? The membership under Corbyn was pro-EU wasn’t it?

Tbh a lot of corbynist types, the younger ones anyway, had been libdem soft or voted libdem in 10 then journeyed to (parliamentary) left as a consequence of coalition.
Like MiB notes, fair whack of EU as identity hyper liberals in corbyn support. I like euro-corbynists, good term

Barbara Keeley. Was in Corbyn’s shadow cabinet. Not really part of his circle, more a party loyalist. Nevertheless always struck me as firmly on the left. She supported starmer in the leadership race and is (it would seem) delighted he won it. Not sure what this means (other than she wants to keep her job - which i hope she does)
Interestingly she’s a member of LFI. Had labour won last year then THE ZIONISTS would have been in control of social care and mental health policy. Anyway...

Keep your enemies closer? Not a position from which she can challenge as easily, either she has to toe the line (comprising her) or she ends up being put into a position where she has to resign.
RLB clearly not going to get anything of substance.

On one hand Waitrose has gone up on my estimation. Despite the protestation of ‘balance’ he’s ripped out Corbyn supporters - especially those who supported Leave - and he’s packed the Shadow Cabinet with technocratic drones built in his own image. He’s also added two more NEC votes to his account. Nandy is both promoted and sidelined.
On the other hand who exactly does he imagine this faceless band of technocrats going to appeal to?
Scotland is gone. The Midlands, Wales and North largely gone. I may be wrong but are Rachel Reeves, Annalese Dodds and that Welsh barrister whose name I’ve already forgotten the politicians required to even begin to claw back some of this territory?
Put another way what social base does Starmer think this group of faceless technocrats is meant to energise? Bar that segment of the urban liberal middle class they all come from? And which already vote Labour?
Bizarre stuff
