Labour: Choosing Corbyn ally as replacement Leader changes nothing

The name on the cards to replace Jeremy Corbyn is Rebecca Long Bailey, a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn. If she is effectively the new Leader, little will have changed and it would show that the Labour clique is not willing to accept the outcome of a disastrous General Election. A change of names while maintaining the 'Movement' will certainly condemn the Labour Party to political oblivion.

The failures of the Labour Party leadership were all too visible. While Jeremy Corbyn kept talking about negotiating a new deal and putting it to the vote together with the option to remain was contrasted with the views of the remaining members of the shadow cabinet that clearly said that they would negotiate a new deal but would campaign for remain. To put it mildly, they explicitly said that they would campaign against their own deal.

For thousands upon thousands of Labour Party voters and supporters, the attitudes of Jeremy Corbyn and its shadow cabinet were too much to swallow and they decided to support other political parties and most importantly the Conservative Party to get Brexit done.

But the Labour Party couldn't persuade voters to accept a manifesto based on sheer demagogy and political bribes. The Labour Party couldn't either get rid of the anti-Semitism scandal, scandal made worse by the fact that most of those who came up with expressions of anti-Semitism were Muslim Labour Party members that dominate the Labour Party in many areas across the United Kingdom. The two things go together: anti-Israel attitudes and hatred against Jews in the United Kingdom.

Choosing a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn, tainted by all the aforementioned, is an own goal. But lets not put the car before the horses. While Rebecca Long Bailey is being talked about about a serious contender there are other names on the cards.
