some MP's who I knew personally resigned over Iraq, they were respected in the party, Corbyn is respected in the party , many Labour Party members marched against the Iraq war , I was one. There were labour MP's on the march too. The MP's who are speaking out against Corbryn are blairites, they think his was is the only way to win an election. No it is not, the people will decide. What we are seeing now are thousands of people , many who didn't vote in the last election or the one before, suddenly feel included again, so the shires will vote Tory, always do, but Corbyn has connected with the many thousands who didn't vote because either they thought the parties were too similar or they felt so excluded . Think of the really respected labour politicians , Tony Benn, Robin Cook, Mo Mowlam, Claire Short, Wilson, Foot, Ni Bevan , Donald Dewer, so many more and all left wing , the great Tam Dalyell - known as thatchers thorn , he has given his support to Corbyn . All loyal to the party and all respected so why should Corbyn split the party, he will not, I believe the attacks on him are through fear because he has the support of what has been for so long - the silent majority. If he was not to win the leadership he has already brought those in the centre to their senses , excluding Liz Kendell because she is in the wrong party. Corbyn is right, give people work for a fair wage they will be able to spend , this isn't Marxism it's common sense, wealth must be shared for a country to prosper
Ni Bevan gave a fantastic speech on capitalism, I will have to hunt it out to quote him accurately
The Tories opposed the NHS. They even opposed the minimum wage claiming it would cause mass unemployment
I want Corbyn to win the leadership , the young will learn what socialism is
