It means more than the anecdotal mandate these rebels claim to have from voices on thier doorstep. These members you're dismissing are the grass roots who you need for an election campaign
Exactly what do you have to back up a claim that back to Blair is what the country wants? Especially considering when people have just voted out largely because of politicians like Blair who have failed them and as they see it ruined the country with uncontrolled immigration experiments.
I won't automatically be voting Corbyn but some of you need to get your head out of the sand if you think it's just a matter of getting rid of him and everything will be fine. No one will hate Labour anymore.
I absolutely don't think everything will just be ok getting rid of him. But I also think that getting rid of him is a pre-requisite to trying to do something to get an effective opposition.
I am a Labour voter and I actually initially welcomed the freshness that he seemed to bring. But he hasn't managed to blend his personality with the elements he needs to and I certainly haven't been impressed by his performance at all. He and John M have been crass in some of the PMQs and let so many opportunities go.
And quite frankly if this has been pre-planned it's pretty incompetent that apparently he only did anything about it after reading an article in the Observer. Pre-planned or not, he is not the one setting the agenda which is pretty poor if you recognise that being a politician requires those kind of skills as well banging on about your pure socialist background.
