Corbyn told: change course before it's too late for Labour

3. It would seem simple.

What polling there's been claims that without Corbyn at the helm, Labour would be polling better than the Tories. Whether it might be enough to give it a majority isn't clear.

The problem is that a leadership contest, especially at this stage, would widen the splits in Labour, likely be very ugly indeed, possibly even leading to mass defections, and whoever ended up as party leader would be highly unlikely to be universally attractive. So that "ideal-world" polling with a placeholder as leader probably doesn't indicate much.

I don't have much time at all for Corbyn for a number of reasons, but they have little to do with the allegations of "a Russia problem" etc. that the media, and even some on this forum, have focused on.
