Interesting analysis of the origins of the Jeremy Corbyn phenomenon in English politics:
The Parliamentary Labour Party had reason to be sceptical about Jeremy Corbyn’s suitability for the job of leading the Party when the Party membership gave it to him. He came from a fringe section of the Party that was seen as having lived in ideological illusions for two political generations.
But there is now reason to be sceptical about the hard-headed realism of the Parliamentary Party majority which has done its utmost for ten months to disable the Party by boycotting its leader. ...
The Centre Ground is too small to sustain a major political party and send it to Parliament to govern. ...
The Tory Party is not a Centre Ground Party. Centre Ground Parties always fail in Britain.
In 1981 the clever people of the Labour Party left it and formed the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as a Centre Ground Party.
The SDP was well-funded. It contested every Constituency in Britain at one General Election. Then it disappeared. ...
Ed Miliband opened Pandora’s Box. And now he condemns what came out of it. ...
Blairite MPs appear intent on wrecking a Labour Party they can no longer control. The way they plan to do that is to bring down Corbyn and obstruct grassroots democracy. But the ground these MPs are standing on is disappearing fast.
Labour Needs Corbyn!
