 <\/p>\n

The result of the referendum was game-changing for British politics.\u00a0 The Parliamentary Labour Party<\/a> (PLP) had an excellent opportunity to re-engage with the disaffected working class and devise a plan that drew our divided nation together.\u00a0 Instead, they have challenged Jeremy Corbyn for the leadership of the party.\u00a0 They argue that Corbyn lost the referendum, is a weak leader and would not be elected Prime Minister in a snap election.\u00a0 I think they are wrong and seized an opportunity to foster their ambitions above the needs of the nation.<\/p>\n

Blaming Corbyn for Brexit<\/a> is incomprehensible.\u00a0 Margaret Hodge<\/a>, a leader in the Corbyn revolt, is MP for one of the few London constituencies\u2019 that voted to leave.\u00a0 She is no more responsible for this than Corbyn was for the country\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

It was not a referendum on Corbyn or his policies so the result is not his responsibility.\u00a0 David Cameron<\/a> called the referendum, and the PLP should be highlighting his folly for doing so (see post<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Both Corbyn and Theresa May<\/a> had low profiles during the campaign and gave a mixed message on remaining.\u00a0 However, May is the favourite to become the PM and Corbyn subject to \u2018the night of the long knives\u2019.<\/p>\n

Leadership, I believe is about purpose and belief.\u00a0 Corbyn has both.\u00a0 Consequently, he attracted a following which has doubled Labour Party membership.<\/p>\n

Corbyn has been clear that his purpose is to stop austerity, to improve social and working conditions and to encourage business.\u00a0 People trust him, unlike the PLP, who could be confused with the Tories. \u00a0Corbyn voted against \u00a312bn cuts to Welfare and Work Reforms, 184 members of the PLP did not.<\/p>\n

A snap election is unlikely to be called.\u00a0 Arguably, the next PM<\/a> has the mandate to govern.\u00a0 However, even if the PLP believe it possible, it is not their place to remove the Party leader even if they feel he does not have broad appeal.\u00a0 The PLP does not decide the Labour leader but the grass-roots membership.\u00a0 It is undemocratic to try to unseat the leader who has a 60% majority.<\/p>\n

Corbyn has not had the time, opportunity or media support to establish whether or not he has broad appeal.\u00a0 However, before his leadership, Labour had experienced a loss of grass-roots support in general elections.<\/p>\n

If Corbyn can inspire the numbers of the Labour party to swell then, surely he must be best placed to win back support in the Labour Heartlands.\u00a0 That could lead Labour to electoral victory.\u00a0 His leadership won a by-election that Labour was expected to lose, followed by positive results in the local elections.<\/p>\n

Corbyn has stood firm in the face of adversity, refusing to resign because he has a responsibility to honour the faith that the members placed in him.\u00a0 That is strong leadership; he has not jumped ship like Cameron, Farage<\/a> or Johnson<\/a>.\u00a0 He has shown respect for the party membership and democracy.\u00a0 The PLP, on the other hand, have behaved with indifference to both.\u00a0 They also could have used their energy to hold those to account who abrogated their responsibility.\u00a0 Instead, they have chosen to foster their ambitions above the needs of the nation.<\/p>\n
