Hi Warren.

That’s a very strong statement that you are making and equally strong inditement of Mr. Corbyn.

I would have expected a more constructive argument from you, with a number of reasons for why our leader should resign. As far as I’m concerned, and it is quite obvious, this single reason is just a backbench heckle that has no merit or weight, let alone tangible substance. Here’s a number of points you may not have considered.

While I agree with you on your stance over the Euro exit. To remain wasn’t a prerequisite for being left wing or a supporter Labour. The vote to leave or stay was a personal choice for every individual who cared about the issue. Remember, whether you or I believe that those who wanted to leave were wrong. We live in a democracy and democracy was exorcised. There were Conservatives who voted to remain, as there were Labour voters who chose to leave. It was a referendum.

The whole issue was something that was not brought about by Mr. Corbyn or Labour. I may be wrong on this point, but wasn’t this a mandate that was published by the Conservatives as part of their manifesto for the last general election? In any event, it was executed by them as the prevailing government.

How many Labour MPs have resigned because their constituencies decided to vote for exit? None. Why? Because it’s neither their fault or responsibility to coheres their constituents into something they didn’t want. So, why should Mr. Corbyn be treated any differently? He shouldn’t, and should not be held responsible for the choices made by those who have exorcised their democratic right.

Did Mr. Corbyn do enough to argue the point to stay. As far as I can see, yes. Besides, and like I just stated, this was an individual’s democratic choice that has no bearing on their chosen political alignments. Plus, these individuals are regular people, not political affiliates who should feel the need to follow any particular agenda. To reiterate. To stay or to go wasn’t mutually associated to any one particular political persuasion.

Many current and former Labour MPs have come out criticising Mr. Corbyn. How many of them were out there campaigning for the remain vote, to any great effect that may have given them the right to make complaints about feeling let down? Tony Blair has had his say, but where was he during the vote and what did he do?

A lot of people, you included, are saying that we need new leadership. But I haven’t seen anyone come up with any solid names as a replacement, again, you included. Why complain about something that you feel is broken or wrong, without any solid solution to a fix? It’s easy to point fingers.

The main core of MPs who are turning up the heat now, are mostly the same ones who have been bitching from the sidelines since Mr. Corbyn gained democratic leadership of the Labour Party. Again, there’s that word ‘democratic’. Most of this dissent is coming from self serving MPs who are out for personal gain at the expense of stability within the Labour Party and the expense of those who they supposedly represent, the British public.

While the Conservatives are in their own world of pain and disarray. It is totally disgusting and despicable that the same pocket of self serving Labour MPs that I’ve just mentioned, are taking this time of Conservative weakness, to manufacture and exploit an internal Labour Party power struggle. This is the perfect time for Labour to solidify and move forward with cohesion and better represent the British public. Instead, these so called Labour MPs who are revolting, are no better than the party they oppose and are risking the Labour Party, and those they represent, for their own selfish gains.

Anyway, I think you get my point. I would be very interested in a more in depth reasoning for your statement that Mr. Corbyn should stand down, and who you think should replace him, and why?

BTW. Keep up the great work and effort in representing New Ferry.

Cheers,

Dave.
