(50,254 posts)9. But isn't that due, as much as anything else, to the fact that the PLP never let up on Corbyn?
How much could Momentum really do(they did probably save Stoke in the by-election) when they were having to spend most of their energies fighting against being kicked out of the party?
If the MPs really wanted Corbyn out that badly, why didn't the promise that there'd be a left candidate in a post-Corbyn leadership ballot and agree to reverse all the suspensions and expulsions of Corbyn supporters?
It's not as if the voters were ever going to reward the party for getting rid of the rest of the socialists.

OK, in your view, what would it mean for Momentum to "engage with the outside world"?

If Labour had vetoed the election, wouldn't that have caused massive blowback against them?
