I reckon if Corbyn gets in, then Burnham will feature, but I also reckon Cooper and Kendal will resume life in the back benches. The way they're going on, in an attempt to undermine Corbyn, really has no place in the party.
The whole Labour purge thing is annoying me too. It was quite clearly quoted from Harriet's mouth about who can vote, but that now seems to have become that you can only vote for the right candidates. It's funny how they only apply democracy when it suits.
Agreed. It's the Blue Labour movement which has made the party unelectable over the years. As I've said elsewhere in the thread, politics needs to be oppositional and dynamic - this, in my opinion, is not what we have now. Why choose Tory-lite when you can have the real thing?
