Jeremy Corbyn has the overwhelming backing of Labour Party members and is winning back the millions of votes lost to Labour since it abandoned the working classes and re-invented itself as a Social Democratic party of the centre left. When the Tories were undetectable it gained power and held onto it, but when the Tories recovered their equilibrium, they lost it and will not get it back. Because to get power back the Tories had to move to the left and the two parties now occupy the same space.
The Labour Party is the political arm of the Labour movement, The other arm is the Trade Unions. The purpose of the whole idea is to protect and advance the standards of living and future prospects of all those who work for the benefit of the economy in industry, commerce, services, education, health and whose earnings can never make them rich but upon whom the functions of a civilised state depend. The Labour Movement and Labour party members are engaged in this notion of brotherhood and purpose for the common good of all. They are a political movement rooted in the country at large.
The Parliamentary Labour Party has become a party detached from the country and rooted in Westminster. It smokes a daily dose from the pipe of power and lusts after it for its own sake. It spouts the nostrum, to justify its addiction, that without power you cannot help people. You can take this as a self evident truth, or, as the Blog prefers, dismiss it at cynical drivel. Because power for power’s sake is like a journey without a compass or a destination. The party membership in the country know where they want to go, there are more of them than all the other parties put together, and they chose by an overwhelming mandate from a wide choice of options just the person to take them there.
If the PLP successfully engineers a means to dump him, it will be the last big thing it ever does.
