The thing is the main rabble rousers and disenters were not party of that, they are the next generation of new labour MP that were straight out of Uni in to pps or media jobs at westmister, then parachuted into constituencies, tristram hunt, luciana Berger, angela eagle.
The only 2 who were not were Hodges and Field, as you see older heads like Yvette Cooper and harriet harman, margaret beckett etc keep their council and know how politics works.
The likes of Leslie, Umunna, smith, woodcock, coyle etc are career politicians straight from education or jobs around westminster such as journalism.
Then there is the newer generation of MPs that represent the constituency they come from and previosly worked in Angela Rayner, Cat Smith, Richard Burgon, Rebecca long -Bailey, also the Co-Op backed MPs that normally come from the area they represent and strangely these seem to want to set an agenda that looks after the many, and seem to back the leaderships vision and manifesto.
Harking back to 97 and what blair and brown did in a time when the world was a different place and comparing their experience as MPs leading up to and after winning power have little to do with the generation of politicians calling themselves moderate or progressive, they have, to use the cliche, lived in the westminster bubble and as shown when cameron won twice had nothing to offer that the nation wanted.
Blair and Browns vision was fresh and energized the nation, the prensent self proclaimed centerist say and offer nothing, no vision, no fresh unique ideas, and that is why they have been rejected, and having not lived outside the buble cannot handle it and tend to throw tantrums and call the people who campaigned to get them in power dogs
Was never in favour of deselection, but chuka and leslie and coyle can all be fucked off for all I care, they can hate corbyn for all I care, but insulting your members is too far for me.
