The question as I see it is will whoever gets elected be a leader or a figurehead? It appears to me that Momentum lead the Labour party at the moment. To a certain extent Jeremy Corbyn was led by Momentum or the party membership. It is widely known that he was personally in favour of leaving the EU. The party membership or Momentum decided against leave and so the party line became a second referendum after a new deal.

Now it turns out that that was the policy that swung the election. Momentum and the party take no responsibility for this decision. They blame Corbyn and no one mentions that he was all for leaving and had he actually led on that the result would have been very different.

If the new 'leader' is just a figurehead for Momentum I don't see much hope for Labour in the next five years.
