I don't understand how Labour do this stuff. Do the Parliamentary party get to vote 'no confidence' in him and then they have to hold another leadership contest? If so, surely the membership will just voted him in again? Or does he need the support of some MPs to even get to the vote by the membership?
Mind you, I think the Blairites have been looking for a reason to get rid of him. Their party membership overwhelmingly voted for him as leader, and the MPs have been looking for an excuse to get rid of him. One of their MPs is asking for Parliament to have a Commons vote to ignore the referendum result. So much for listening to the voters. Democracy eh?
Isn't the vote of no confidence purely advisory? The assumption being that if a Leader receives a vote of no confidence they will do the decent thing and resign?

I don't mind the fella, but they haven't been a credible opposition. Maybe that's because the Parliamentary party didn't want him so they've seen their arses?If no confidence vote goes against him and someone steps up to challenge him then there will be a new contest (i think that is how it goes),i'm hoping the grass roots see how ineffective he is and vote differently this time,depends who stands against him,i will vote for anyone of the others who put up a good case and looks electable

Just like the EU vote then ?Isn't the vote of no confidence purely advisory? The assumption being that if a Leader receives a vote of no confidence they will do the decent thing and resign?

Absolutely no idea. Hey, 9 of his Shadow Cabinet have resigned, so I imagine he knows already! Just a matter of whether he says 'you cunts didn't elect me, the membership did' he can then have his own Labour Party referendum on whether he stays as leader. I'm sure they'd respect the wishes of their members, just like they've shown respect for the will of the people in the EU referendum!Isn't the vote of no confidence purely advisory?

What if yer man David Milliband came back from America, would you consider voting for him? I only ask as I mentioned this to a Labour Party member the other day, and he said absolutely not as he reckoned Milliband deserted the party.

I think Corbyn is a perfect example of good intentions and politics do not mix. He stood as a different kind of leader a principled one, people on the right laughed at him, his own mp's never fully backed him. He couldn't be true to his principals but was very uncomfortable telling outright lies so hid or was muted on certain subjects.
He should have stuck to his principles, if your gonna get fucked over regardless you might as well go down with integrity.
