Steve Shaw BS: Let's reclaim the centre ground! (495* d) RE: BS: Let's reclaim the centre ground! 18 Sep 18


Well we'll have to see what the conference (not Corbyn) decides, won't we? Just a couple of things. First, what has happened in several constituencies so far is that there have been votes of no confidence in sitting MPs. The votes have no constitutional force, can't make the MPs stand down and are NOTHING to do with deselection. They are warning shots from frustrated constituents across the bows of MPs who insist on briefing against and undermining an extremely popular leader of the party, arguably threatening the chance of Labour winning the next election. Nothing sinister, eminently sensible and thoroughly democratic. Second, "local Momentum groups" (nice smear) consist of individual members who have no more voting power than any other members in constituency matters. Cabals within parties getting themselves organised is no sin. If it were, the Tories to a man would all be rotting in hell in by now.
