(50,254 posts)Defending the NHS and restoring the cuts in social services(which will never BE restored by any future government if May is re-elected, and which the LibDems have proved they don't care about by announcing that they will never join a coalition with Labour)matter just as much.
Protecting the unions-the only means working people have of defending their rights and which, again, the LibDems don't care about- matters just as much.
Fighting Xenophobia. a cause the LibDems forever abandoned when they joined forces with Cameron, matters just as much.
And if Corbyn were dumped and the sort of leader the PLP wanted were put in in his place took over, Labour wouldn't disagree with the Tories on most of those things(it would go back to Blair's policy of only opposing TOTAL privatization, for now).
No party in the history of British politics ever changed leaders during an election campaign. If Labour did that, it would lose the right to ask anyone who supports Corbyn's principles to vote for it, because the PLP won't allow anyone who is even close to those principles to be leader-most of that lot still think Liz Kendall was entitled to the job.
